Na2O + H2O -> 2NaOH
sodium oxide (solid) is NOT an alkali. sodium oxide forms sodium hydroxide (aqueous) is an alkali. so sodium oxide becomes an alkali only when in aqueous form and in aqueous form it is called sodium hydroxide.
A BASE is a metal oxide. A soluble base is an ALKALI and contains hydroxide ions. (-OH) Sodium oxide (Na2O) is a BASE Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an ALKALI. The alkali comes about because the sodium oxide dissolved in water to form the alkali. Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH .
Sodium Chloride.

Sort of. Sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, which is soluble.
NaO sodium oxide
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed.
Since aluminium oxide is an amphoteric oxide, it does react with the alkali sodium hydroxide in an aqueous medium. It is an acid base reaction.
sodium hydroxide (aq)
The salts of sulfuric acid are named sulfates.
Na2O + H2O -> 2NaOH
Sodium and oxygen are combined to form some kind of oxide of sodium, but there are three different ones. The specific kind produced will be determined by the conditions under which oxidation occurs. When burned in air, sodium will form sodium peroxide(Na2O2). If there is a limited amount of oxygen, sodium oxide (Na2O) will form. Lastly, sodium superoxide (NaO2) will be produced if sodium is burned in oxygen under pressure. Wikipedia has some extra information, and a link is provided.sweat
When sodium oxide Na2O is added to water it is converted into sodium hydroxide immediately Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH , the ions Na+ and OH- in aqueous solution are responsible to conduct the electricity.
sodium hydroxide, quicklime or Calcium Oxide, Slaked lime or calcium hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide or caustic potash or lye. Sodium Carbonate; potassium carbonate, rubidium oxide, ammonia etc.
