Will Sodium react with water and one of the products is H2?

Yes. Sodium will react vigorously with water. The reaction is very exothermic and may even cause fire. 2Na + 2H2O ---> 2NaOH + H2


Does salt react to fire?

Salt does not react to fire as it is an inorganic compound composed of sodium and chloride ions. When exposed to fire, salt will not burn or undergo a chemical reaction, but it can help extinguish small grease fires by smothering the flames.


What household materials can put out a fire?

What happens when you pour soda on a fire?

heat causes the 'soda' (sodium bicarbonate) to release carbon dioxide which displaces oxygen and puts out the fire.


Why is sodium kept under oil in a tightly sealed container?

Sodium is highly reactive with moisture in the air, which can produce hydrogen gas and cause the sodium to catch fire. By keeping sodium under oil in a tightly sealed container, it is protected from moisture and air, reducing the risk of it reacting and potentially causing a fire.
