Reaction: 2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2
The solution is called Sodium Hydroxide - a more traditionally called Lye when it's in solution or Caustic Soda when crystalline

This is an exothermic reaction that generates a lot of heat very quickly, enough to heat a cup of coffee, it's how those "hot drink in a can" drink work.

Why sodium extract is alkaline in nature?
It is because sodium reacts with water (present in test tube or porcelain basin) to give a alkaline solution of NaOH.
Why the aqueous solution of sodium acetate is alkaline?
Because when it reacts with water it produces strong base which makes the solution basic
What has an oxide which reacts with water to gie an alkaline solution?
I think its calcium oxide and sodium oxide ... I'd better check that if I were you though
How do you prepare 1000ppm sodium solution from sodium chloride?
A sodium solution of water cannot be made as sodium reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide.
When calcium reacts with water is the solution formed acidic alkaline or netural?
Ca + 2H2O --->Ca(OH)2 + H2 Solution is alkaline

What is the formula for sodium hydroxide solution in water reacts with hydrochloric acid solution in water to produce sodium chloride solution and water?
NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O
Is NaCl is an alkaline sol?
Sodium chloride has a neutral water solution.
Does sodium chloride form when sodium hydroxide reacts with water?
No Sodium hydroxide solution results -- not sodium chloride.
Why sodium hydroxide solution contains sodium carbonate?
Water reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form small amounts of carbonic acid. In a sodium hydroxide solution, this reacts again to form sodium carbonate.
Which group above 9-12 reacts with water to yield alkaline solution?
These are the alkali metals.
What is the formula and name of the compound that makes the solution alkaline when rubidium reacts with water?
Rubidium hydroxide, RbOH.
