1)Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic.
2)Alkali metals in general are extremely reactive metals. They are highly reducing in nature. Hence, they react with water forming their corresponding hydroxides evolving dihydrogen gas. In case of sodium - as cited in your question - its reduction potential is −2.7109 V hence it easily reduces hydrogen.
