What happens when acidic liquids are mixed with baking soda?
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and when it comes in contact with acids like HCl, it will form sodium salts (NaCl in this case) and give off carbon dioxide gas with H2O. In case of contact with H2SO4, it will form sodium sulphate, carbon dioxide and water.
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
Why is sodium stored in soil?
Sodium reacts violently with water, and oxidizes rapidly. Containing it in either kerosene or sand (soil) basically protects it from oxidation, and from exploding if water happens to contact it.
What happens when acidic ground water comes into contact with rock that contain calcium carbonate?
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
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.
What element reacts explosively when it comes in contact with water?
Sodium will, and some others will too.

Why would you not build a car out of sodium?
because when sodium comes in contact with water it bursts into sparks. plus sodium is VERY soft metal, that's what she said
Can sodium metal become water?
No, sodium metal cannot become water. Sodium is a highly reactive metal, and when it comes into contact with water, it reacts violently and releases hydrogen gas. This reaction can be dangerous and should be avoided.
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
Is sodium a dangerous element?
Yes. Sodium will burn and even explode on contact to water. If it comes in contact with air ore moisture it produces very alkaline substances that can cause chemical burns.

Sodium reacts violently with water, and oxidizes rapidly. Containing it in either kerosene or sand (soil) basically protects it from oxidation, and from exploding if water happens to contact it.
What happens when acidic ground water comes into contact with rock that contain calcium carbonate?
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
How can Sodium harm people?
sodium can explode when in contact of water
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.
Why is there water outside the glass of water?
This is due to condensation. When air comes in contact with the glass it condenses(this happens only when the water inside is cold).
Why Sodium metal is not treated with water?
Sodium is an unstable element which reacts violently when in contact with water. Sodium added to water can result in explosions.
