What gas is produced by sodium?

After the violent reaction of sodium with water hydrogen is released.


What alkali is produced when sodium chloride is added to water?

Sodium chloride is dissociated in water in Na+ and Cl-. Sodium is an alkali metal.


When sodium hydroxide is added to water the reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

Endothermic


Sodium fizzes when added to water. But why doesn't sodium chloride fizz when added to water?

Sodium fizzes in water because it is undergoing a chemical reaction with water to form sodium hydroxide. The result is more stable than either of the original chemicals. When sodium chloride is added to water both of these substances are stable with respect to each other and no reaction occurs that results in a new chemical product.


What is produced if sodium comes into contact with cold water?

Sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in a very vigorous reaction which can even cause fire


What is the name of the gas that is produced when sodium metal is added to cold water?

Sodium chloride is soluble in water but don't react with water.


Which substance is produced in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide?

What happens if you mix distilled water and sodium hydroxide?

Sodium hydroxide simply becomes ionized in water, no reaction will occur. And the concentration of NaOH will be reduced, if enough water is added.


What is the product when sodium chloride added in water?

There is no chemical change at all. Adding salt to water makes salty water.


How many moles of sodium hydroxide will be produced from the complete reaction of 15.0 g sodium?

Sodium reacts with water. 0.652 NaOH moles will form.


Is the gas produced when sodium mixes with water a physical change or chemical change?

It is a chemical change, as sodium cannot evaporate (or water go to water vapor) without added heat. The main gas produced in this highly exothermic chemical reaction is hydrogen, liberated from the water by the combination of a hydroxide radical (OH) with the sodium, yielding a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The heat released is typically sufficient to ignite and burn both the sodium and the released hydrogen. So pure sodium metal oddly appears to catch fire and burn when placed in water.
