Question

write the word equation of sodium reacts with water 

give reason​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reaction of sodium with water. Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colorless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Equation for sodium when it reacts with water is

$2Na+2H2O→2NaOH+H2$

In this equation Sodium metal displaces Hydroxide ion and hydrogen gets removed or liberatec in surrounding.

• In this reaction Na gets oxidise and H gets reduce.

Reason-

Because metals of high reactivity series removes the metal of low reactivity series.

In this reaction Na removes H because of low reactivity.

More-

• Sodium is denoted by Na.
• Hydrogen is denoted by H.
• Hydroxide by OH.
• NaOH formed in product is Sodium Hydroxide.
