Sodium with water

Answer 1

A violent nature of all the alkali metals. The annoyance (that loose electron attached to the outer shell of every sodium atom) will cause the sodium to be highly reactive, and when it hits water, the reaction generates hydrogen gas by ripping the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms that form the water chemical compound.

The immense heat generated by the reaction causes the hydrogen gas, which itself is highly flammable, to catch fire, this causing that big explosion and fire and also at that time fusing hydrogen atoms created by the reaction along with oxygen you are breathing in right now to form water.

Answer 2

When sodium is added to water, the sodium replaces the hydrogen ion from water and reduces it to flammable hydrogen gas. Sodium is in turn oxidized to the very stable natric ion. This reaction can be explosive.

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 3

When sodium reacts with water, it produces sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is highly exothermic and produces enough heat to ignite the hydrogen gas, resulting in a violent explosion. Special precautions must be taken when handling this reaction due to its hazardous nature.

Answer 4

Sodium reacts violently with water to produce hydrogen and sodium hydroxide.

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

Answer 5

A violent reaction occur; sodium hydroxide is formed and hydrogen released.

Answer 6

salt water
