Sodium reacts violently with water.
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g) + heat
The heat of the reaction will ignite the H2 gas and make it explode, producing more heat.
H2(g) + O2(g) --> H2O(g) + heat
If you still have unreacted sodium, the heat from the explosion will cause sodium to ignite and explode.
Na(s) + O2(g) --> Na2O2(s)
Na2O2 is a peroxide that contains O22-, rather than the O2- ion you normally see.

What happens when you add salt to a glass of water and half of potato?
- Sodium chloride is dissolved and dissociated in water. - Potato can absorb an amount of sodium chloride.
Will adding sodium to chloride in water give salinity of the water?
Salinity (or 'saltiness') is due to the compound sodium chloride, written NaCl, and adding more of this will increase the salinity. However never add metallic sodium to water, it produces a violent and dangerous reaction. So when you say 'adding sodium to chloride' I'm not sure what you mean. The compound sodium chloride is just cooking salt and quite harmless and you can add as much of that as you like, but sodium as an element is a different matter.
What happens when sodium is add to 100 mL of water?
The chemical reaction is:2 Na + 2 H2O = 2 NaOH + H2

Sodium bicarbonate destroys vitamin C. Some bottlers add small amounts of Sodium bicarbonate to soda water, and some do not.
