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 is the reaction between acid and a sulfate?
Most acids will not react with sulfates as the sulfate ion (SO42-) is a very weak base. However, a strong acid will react with a sulfate ion tor form a bisulfate ion (HSO4-). Here is an example with hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate. HCl + Na2SO4 --> NaCl + NaHSO4 The products are sodium chloride and sodium bisulfate.
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
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.
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
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 substance is being oxidized when sodium reacts with chlorine gas?
In this reaction, sodium is being oxidized. When sodium reacts with chlorine gas, sodium atoms lose electrons to form sodium ions, and this process involves the loss of electrons, which is characteristic of oxidation.
Why does sodium react with water?
Sodium reacts with water because it is a highly reactive metal that readily gives up its outer electron to form a positively charged ion. This reaction releases hydrogen gas and heat, resulting in the formation of sodium hydroxide.
What significant intermolecular forces is involved between sodium ion and water?
Water molecules surround the sodium ion- the negative end of the water pointing towards the sodium ion. the attraction is electrostatic. The bond is weak- the effect is a hydration sphere of water where the water molecules drift in and drift out.
Sodium oxide reacts with water to produce?
Sodium oxide reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide. The chemical reaction can be represented as: Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH.
What does sodium reacts with?
Sodium is so reactive it is usually found in compounds. It reacts most violently with water, creating sodium hydroxide.
When sodium oxide reacts with water what base is formed?
NaOH is formed then. NaOH is a strong base.
