Why is sodium metal not ordinarily reacted in the laboratory even with a dilute acid?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The reaction is violent, even explosive. The sodium reacts with an acid to produce a sodium salt and hydrogen gas. The reaction produces enough heat to melt the sodium and ignite the hydrogen. If the reaction does produces an explosion it can send flaming, molten pieces of sodium through the air.
For these reason the reaction is dangerous.

What atoms combine and the type of bonding for sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is an ionically bonded compound formed by the reaction of sodium and chlorine atoms. In the compound, each sodium atom that reacted becomes a positively charged sodium cation and each chlorine atoms that reacted becomes a negatively charged chloride anion.
What is the liquid that are produce effervescence when reacted with sodium carbonate solution?
HCOOH
What gas is involved in the reaction between sodium trioxocarbonate IV and dilute hydrochloric acid?
Carbon dioxide gas is involved in the reaction between sodium trioxocarbonate IV and dilute hydrochloric acid
What is the relationship of sodium and edema?
Sodium causes edema which is swelling of the tissues of the body. Sodium causes the body to retain fluid which it uses to dilute the concentration of sodium.
Chemical make up of sodium sulfate?
The original two elements to make the compound Sodium Sulphate are Sodium and Sulphur. The reason you put -ate on the end is because you have reacted a metal (Sodium) with a non-metal (Sulphur)
Why sodium metal not ordinarily reacted in the laboratory even with a dilute acid?
The reaction of sodium with dilute acid and even pure water is violent. The reaction produces hydrogen gas, which ignites and in turn ignites the sodium. In some cases the sodium can explode, sending droplets of burning, molten sodium into the air.
Why is sodium metal not ordinarily reacted in the laboratory even with the dilute acid?
The reaction of sodium metal with water is highly exothermic. Hydrogen gas is liberated and autoignites from the heat. With an acid, even more hydrogen gas is liberated and ignites.
What salt is produced if sodium carbonate reacts with dilute nitric acid?
Dilute Nitric acid when reacted with Sodium hydroxide will produce Sodium nitrate and Water. NaOH + HNO3 = NaNO3 + H2O.
Which chemicals produce only salt and water when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react with dilute Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) to form Sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O).
What has the highest pH value dilute sodium bicarbonate or lemon juice or dilute sodium hydroxide solution?
dilute sodium hydroxide solution
What elements do potassium reacted with?
sodium
Is sodium a positive ion when reacted with water?
yes, it is.
How do you prepare sodium chloride from dilute sodium hydroxide?
Adding hydrochloric acid.
What is added to dilute hydrochloric acid to get sodium chloride?
A base - sodium hydroxide.
What acid and alkali can be reacted together to make sodium chloride?
hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide
How does sodium chloride react in dilute acid?
Sodium chloride doesn't react with acids.
How sodium react with dil hcl?
Sodium will react violently with dilute hydrochloric acid.
