sodium in water reacts by this mechanism;
Na + H2O = NaOH + H
when ballanced this is;
2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2
the end products are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas (which normally burns due to the heat of the reaction) and of course there remains unreacted water.
please be carefull when doing this though because the reaction is violent and the sodium hydroxide formed is very caustic (dangerous to get on your skin or eyes)
