this is due to the evolutiion of the oxygen gas due to the formation of NaOH.

When placed in h20 a sodium pellet catches on fire as hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms?
Yes that is true! It is the hydrogen gas that catches fire.
Is sodium catch fire in water?
YES oF cOURSE. Sodium Catches.
What happens when sodium catches fire in water?
Sodium is very seceptable to moister if it contacts moister it will have a violet chemical recation, that is what happens when it is put in water the sodium is reacting with the water.
How is the way sodium reacts with water different from the way sodium chloride reacts with water?
The reaction with sodium is that there starts to be fire on the water, so it acts violently. Sodium chloride dissolves in water, because it is salt (table salt).
Why sodium catches fire when reacts with water?
because it is highly reactive
When calcium metal is placed in water is added to water the gas evolved does not catch fire but the same gas on adding sodium metal cathches fire why'?
In both reactions hydrogen gas is released but heat evolved in the sodium reaction is bigger.
Is a sodium pellet placed in water catches fire and gives off hydrogen gas a physical or chemical change?
That is a chemical change. You are seeing a chemical reaction, where the sodium reacts with the water, forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
When placed in h20 a sodium pellet catches on fire as hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms?
Yes that is true! It is the hydrogen gas that catches fire.
Is sodium catch fire in water?
YES oF cOURSE. Sodium Catches.
When placed in H2O is a sodium pellet that catches on fire as a hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms a chemical change?
Yes.
Why water is not used in sodium fire?
Sodium and water are HIGHLY reactive. It would only compound the problem.
What is the name of the metal which produces fire when dropped in water?
Lithium and sodium are the metals which produces fire in water.
Does water and sodium create a fire hazard?
Yes
What is the metal that catches fire when it is dipped in water?
Sodium
What three things would you see when a small piece of sodium metal is placed in a large dish of water?
1. Sodium metal whizzes and darts around the sides of the dish 2. Sodium metal gets smaller with time 3. A gas is evolved and the sodium metal may 'catch fire'
When placed in H2O a sodium pellet catches on fire as hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms chemical or physical change?
It is a Chemical change
Does Sodium and water to produce fire?
*sodium metal ignites upon exposure to water Because sodium floats on water so it can stay burning, to put out a sodium or oil fire it has to be deprived of air (Powder or covering with fire proof blanket etc.)
