Is sodium acidic?
No. The sodium ion is neutral in terms of acidity. Elemental sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base.
How is the way the element sodium reacts with water different from the way the compound sodium chloride reacts with water?
Sodium reacts violently with water, while sodium chloride (or table salt) dissolves in water.
What substance is being oxidized when sodium reacts with chlorine gas?
Sodium is oxidized to Na+ ion and Chlorine is reduced to Cl- ion. Sodium chloride is the final product.
What happens if sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol reacts with water?
The sodium methoxide reacts with the water to produce sodium hydroxide an methanol.
How is baking soda a desiccant?
A desiccant absorbs and holds water, drying out the environment around it. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, separates into it's ion forms. The sodium acts to draw the water in while the bicarbonate ion reacts with the water to form carbonic acid and a hydroxide ion. The baking soda will continue this process until saturated, i.e. the reaction of water with bicarbonate ion reaches equilibrium.
What is alkali formed when sodium reacts with cold water?
Sodium reacts with water to produce Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen gas.2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2
Does water react with sodium?
Yes, sodium reacts violently with water.
When sodium reacts with water it forms?
it forms sodium hydroxide
What is produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen
What does sodium reacts with?
Sodium is so reactive it is usually found in compounds. It reacts most violently with water, creating sodium hydroxide.
How is the way sodium reacts with water different from the way sodium chloride reacts with water?
The reaction with sodium is that there starts to be fire on the water, so it acts violently. Sodium chloride dissolves in water, because it is salt (table salt).
What is the solubility of sodium in water?
Sodium doesn't dissolve in water, it reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen: sodium + water ----> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
