Question

When a solid sodium interacts with water, a solution of sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas is
formed. This is an exothermic reaction. Which of the following represent correct chemical equation
of above reaction?
(A) 2Na+ 2H30 → 2NaOH+H
(B) 2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH() + Hig)
(C) 2Na(s) + 2H2O(1) ► 2NaOH() + H3(g) + 4
(D) All of the above​

Answer 1

The correcr equation of the chemical reaction is represented by (B)

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic.
