Best Answer

Are you trying to write a balanced reaction equation between water and sodium metal.

Here is the reaction equation

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) = 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Sodium metal , together with other Group '1' metals (Alkali metals) is highly reactive with water and oxygen, so it is kept under oil, a hydrocarbon, no oxygen present.

In reacting with water it form the hydroxide and liberates hydrogen gas.

It is quite spectacular reaction. If you place a small (pin head sized) pellet in a water bath, it will spit , fizz, fume and race around the surface of the water. It will also occasionally 'pop' ; the liberated hydrogen igniting. .

Potassium and rubidium do exactly the same , but more violently.

The general equation is

2M(s) + 2H2O(l) = 2MOH(aq) + H2(g)

How do you balance Na plus H2O equal to NaOH plus H2?

All you gotta do is make sure that theres equal amounts of a particular element on each side, eg. 2 sodium on the left, thus there needs to be 2 on the right. 2 Na + 2H2O ----> 2 NaOH + H2

What is the word equation for hydrochloric acid and sodium?

The balanced equation for Na and H2so4 is Na+ H2SO4 = na2so4 + h2 it is self balanced The balanced equation for Na and H2so4 is Na+ H2SO4 = na2so4 + h2 it is self balanced ---- The answer above, H2SO4 is sulfuric acid. The formula for hydrochloricacid is HCl. Therefore: the equation is: Na + HCl --> NaCl + H2 The balanced equation would be (by my working): 2Na + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2 However, this is just how I would work it out and may again be wrong.
