Sodium metal will burn aggressively when exposed to air. Put a tiny piece in water and it explodes hard enough to spray the room with hot water and steam and shatter the container (and possibly your hand) leaving shards in your body and the ceiling.
DO NOT HANDLE SODIUM METAL UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING, WEARING FULL PPE, IN A BLAST SHIELDED HOOD, AND THEN DON'T DO IT ANYWAY!!!!!
First of all Iron does react with cold water. It is just a very slow reaction and not instant like sodium. The product is basically rust. Sodium is a very reactive alkali metal with only 1 electron to lose to gain noble gas status, and the reaction is thus very energetically stable.
A violent reaction will take place. Do not try without the presence of someone who knows.
Small pieces will bound across the water surface until they dissolve while larger pieces will violently explode.
This would result in a violent reaction as Na is converted to Na+.
No, it can only react with cold water!
If you heat up aluminum and then place it in cold water it can dissolve.
The products of sodium when it is react with water are Sodium Hydroxide solution and hydrogen gas plus heat.
Yes, sodium reacts violently with water.
because sodium is unstable
It does
Sodium is not dissolved in water; sodium react with water.
If you heat up aluminum and then place it in cold water it can dissolve.

Yes, they do react, to form Sodium sulfate and Water
Sodium react vigurously with water.
Sodium chloride doesn't react with water; in water NaCl is dissolved and dissociated in ions.Sodium chloride doesn't react with water; sodium chloride is dissolved and dissociated in water.
Yes, sodium reacts violently with water.
because sodium is unstable
Yes.
Sodium will react with water to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and water.
Water doesn't react with sodium chloride; sodium chloride is dissociated in water:NaCl----------------------------Na+ + Cl-
Sodium chloride form with water saline solutions.
