When solid sodium is added to liquid water it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen gas and aqueous sodium hydroxide what does the formula look like?

2Na + 2H2O--->H2+ 2NaOH
Hydrogen gas is diatomic, therefore it requires a subscript of 2.

How do you write zinc reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce aqueous zinc II chloride and hydrogen gas?
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) -------> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
What is a word equation for the reaction of calcium and water?
Calcium + water gives hydydrogen gas plus Calcium ions in solution and hydroxide ions in solution.
Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas along with heat and light What are reactants in this chemical reaction?
Water and sodium metal are reactants to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. H2O + Na ==> NaOH + H2 !! VERY dangerous !! Sodium Metal and Water
Water reacts with sodium metal to produce hydroxide and hydrogen gas along with heat and light sodium What are reactants in this chemical change?
Reactants: sodium (metal, Na) and water (H2O) Products: Hydrogen (gas, H2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce oxygen and water?
2H2O22H2O + O2(g)
What is the balance chemical equation for Aqueous lithium hydroxide reacts with gaseous cabon dioxide to produce aqueous lithium hydrogen caronate?
2 LiOH + CO2 = H2O + Li2CO3
Do acids produce hydroxide ions?
No, actually they produce hydrosonium ions in an aqueous medium.
Does NaOH produce hydrogen or hydroxide atoms?
hydroxide atoms
What would a balanced equation look like if a solid metal reacts with water to produce aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydroxide gas?
When sodium and water react, they will produce aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Here's the balanced equation for that reaction: 2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2 This reaction is violently exothermic and should be done under very safe and controlled conditions. The hydrogen gas will likely ignite, which itself is a different reaction: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
What does Heating fat in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide produce?
It produces soap.
What is the formula for th reaction of lithium with water to produce lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas?
This equation [not technically "formula"] is 2 Li + 2 H2O -> 2 LiOH + H2.
What does zinc and water produce?
It produces zinc hydroxide and hydrogen.
Will using potassium hydroxide during electrolysis produce chlorine gas?
If you mean just potassium hydroxide or its aqueous solution, then no, because their are no chlorine atoms present. The only elements present are potassium, hydrogen and oxygen. Molten KOH produces potassium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, and the solution gives hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.
What compounds that produce ions other than hydrogen or hydroxide?
A salt
What two compounds produce calcium hydroxide?
Calcium and Hydroxide (1 Oxygen atom+1 Hydrogen atom)
Why aqueous soln of ammonia acts as a weak base?
Because ammonia gas (NH3) reacts with water (H2O) to produce the aqueous solution ammonium hydroxide. This reaction produces hydroxide ions in the solution, thus making it an Arrhenius base.
What are acids and bases according to Arrhenius?
According to Arrhenius, acids produce a proton in aqueous solution, and bases produce a hydroxide ion in aqueous solution. Hydrochloric acid is an Arrhenius acid because it gives up its proton as it dissolves in water. Sodium hydroxide is an Arrhenius base because it gives up its hydroxide as it dissolves in water.
