Sodium is an unstable element which reacts violently when in contact with water. Sodium added to water can result in explosions.
The reactants in this chemical reaction are water and sodium metal.
Water and sodium metal are reactants to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. H2O + Na ==> NaOH + H2 !! VERY dangerous !! Sodium Metal and Water
Sodium metal and 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.
Sodium ion exist in water as the product of a dissociation; sodium (metal) react violently with water
Reactants: sodium (metal, Na) and water (H2O) Products: Hydrogen (gas, H2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
No sodium is an extremely reactive metal that reacts violently with water. Sodium is in fact one of only two metals that is less dense than water, meaning that it can float on water. Whether a metal is underwater or not does not change its identity.
Water is the compound that contains oxygen and sodium is a metal element. Iron is a metal element as well.
Hydrogen gas is released when sodium metal reacts with water. This reaction is highly exothermic and produces sodium hydroxide as well.
Sodium is neither an acid nor an alkali in water. When sodium is dissolved in water, it forms sodium hydroxide (a strong alkali) and hydrogen gas. Sodium itself is a metal and is not considered acidic or alkaline in its pure form.
Sodium is a soft metal and can be cut with knife. Sodium metal is used in chemistry lab, sometimes in fireworks. Sodium when exposed to water, reacts vigorously.
No because the sodium metal is then burned in the water. This makes sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas which you shouldn't have at all.
