How sodium reacts with water?

Answer 1

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 ??

Answer 2

Sodium has only one outer electron it needs to lose to attain a stable electron configuration. It is extremely energetically favorable to lose this electron. It can do so by reacting with many species, and water is one of those.

The reaction between sodium and water produces sodium hydroxide and releases hydrogen. The hydrogen reacts quite violently with the oxygen in the air, producing a bright orange flame.

Answer 3

2 Na Â?+ Â?2 H2O Â?--->Â? 2 NaOH Â?+Â? H2

Sodium reacts with water to form colorless Sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is highly exothermic and the heat evolved is enough to ignite the hydrogen.

So, when you place a chunk of Sodium in water, it almost immediately catches fire.

Answer 4

Metallic sodium reacts very vigorously with water, forming sodium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas.

Answer 5

it just dies and goes bye bye klike the toliet

Answer 6

When sodium reacts with water, a vigorous reaction is seen.

Sodium + Water = Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen

Na + H2O = NaOH + H2

Answer 7

Na + 2H2O ->2NaOH + H2

sodium + water -> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen

Answer 8

It will burn, in a manner of speaking. It depends on the amount of sodium and water involved in the reactoin. Any elements higher in the group than sodium, however, will react more violently

Answer 9

First of all it is explosive, never add pure sodium to water. In the reaction the sodium will form sodium hydroxide and release hydrogen gas.

Answer 10

2 Na
