Ask us anythWater reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas along with heat and light. What are the reactants in this chemical reactioning?

The reactants are the things that are reacting, which you just said were water and sodium metal.


Does baking soda have casein in it?

No, baking soda is just sodium bicarbonate, a leavening agent that reacts with salt and water to form gas and rise your baked products.


Will sodium float in water?

YES there is because: sodium intake and water, and I tried to search for some of them, but that didn't help. Are there clear cut limits on sodium and water. I mean I know you are supposed to have as little sodium as possible, and as much water. But lets say you eat 1500mg of sodium, is there an amount of water that will flush that out of your system?


Is ethanoic acid soluble in sodium hydroxide?

Yes, ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is soluble in sodium hydroxide. When acetic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium acetate and water. Sodium acetate is a water-soluble salt, hence leading to the solubility of acetic acid in sodium hydroxide.


What is sodium oxide combines with water to make sodium hydroxide?

When sodium oxide reacts with water, it forms sodium hydroxide by the following chemical equation: Na2O + H2O -> 2NaOH. This reaction releases heat and is highly exothermic. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base commonly used in industries such as water treatment, soap making, and chemical production.


When sodium reacts with water is it a chemical or a physical change?

It is a chemical reaction for not only has the state changed of NaOH, but the identity of the substances have also changed.NaOH + H2O --> Na+ + OH-The "H2O" is not a reactant. It's actually supposed to go over the arrow. Sorry.Nonetheless, the dissolution of NaOH will increase the Hydroxide concentration, thus making it more basic. It will not change the identity of H2O.


How does sodium oxide burn?

Sodium oxide does not burn itself, but it reacts with water or acids to produce sodium hydroxide and heat. This reaction is exothermic and can generate intense heat, enough to start a fire when sodium oxide comes in contact with a reactive substance.


Why is adding water mixed to sodium a chemical?

When water is added to sodium, a chemical reaction takes place where sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This is a chemical reaction because new substances are being formed with different properties than the original substances.


Neutralization of acetic acid?

If you mix a base with it, it will neutralize. For vinegar, you can just put some baking soda in it. For glacial acetic, I'd probably use washing soda. That's sodium carbonate, and it's stronger than sodium bicarbonate hence would require less to do the job.


How sodium reacts with water?

Sodium+Hydrogen Oxide -----> Sodium Oxide + Hydrogen. When put into water, it ignites then turns a bright pink/blue/red/purple. I am intrigued as to where you learned (???) your chemistry. Sodium + Water (dihydrogen oxide) ------> Sodium Hydroxide + Hydrogen Also, it is very rare for it to ignite. The heat energy released during the exothermic reaction dissipates quickly to the surrounding water. Therefore, the sodium never gets hot enough to ignite the hydrogen. If you float a piece of filter paper on the water and place the sodium on it, then the sodium's movement on the water is reduced allowing enough heat energy to build up around it. This can ignite the hydrogen being produced. This heats the remaining sodium producing a bright orange flame. Certainly not pink/blue/red/purple !!! Think about flame tests to identify cations. Also, how many sodium lights have you seen that don't produce an orange light ??


What compound sodium hydroxide and water make all together?

Just a solution of sodium hydroxide in water.
