Sodium is a very reactive element so when it reacts with water there is a large amount of energy released and hydrogen gas. The heat energy can ignite the hydrogen and that forms a flame.
Sodium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. This reaction is exothermic and gives off heat. On the other hand, sodium chloride dissolves in water to form a clear solution without a visible reaction.
when sodium reacts with water, a vigorous reaction is seen. the sodium metal floats around on the surface of the water and hydrogen gas bubbles are released as it fizzes. the gas is colourless but it can be collected and tested. another one of the products would be sodium hydroxide which is a base (all hydroxides are). it can be tested with litmus paper and the universal indicator. the equation of the reaction between sodium and water would be: Sodium) + Water = Sodium hydroxide) + Hydrogen) Na + H2O = NaOH + H2

Sodium doesn't dissolve in water, it reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen: sodium + water ----> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Sodium oxide does not burn itself, but it reacts with water or acids to produce sodium hydroxide and heat. This reaction is exothermic and can generate intense heat, enough to start a fire when sodium oxide comes in contact with a reactive substance.
The reaction with sodium is that there starts to be fire on the water, so it acts violently. Sodium chloride dissolves in water, because it is salt (table salt).
polar solvents dissolved in water most of times ,and methnol,acetonitrile
An acid (containing dissociable H+ ions
sodium corbonate
Your body starts to retain water and you bloat. Hence the term "water weight"
Sodium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. This reaction is exothermic and gives off heat. On the other hand, sodium chloride dissolves in water to form a clear solution without a visible reaction.
The three major gasses dissloved in ocean water are nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The gas produced is hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction between sodium metal and water is a highly exothermic reaction that liberates hydrogen gas, which in turn reacts explosively with oxygen in the air when ignited by a burning splint.
Sodium
Water is in a very stable state, so it takes a much less electronegative atom to attract the oxygen away from water. Water *does* support the burning of things like sodium, and potassium metals, and cannot quench thermite combustion once it is started.
when sodium reacts with water, a vigorous reaction is seen. the sodium metal floats around on the surface of the water and hydrogen gas bubbles are released as it fizzes. the gas is colourless but it can be collected and tested. another one of the products would be sodium hydroxide which is a base (all hydroxides are). it can be tested with litmus paper and the universal indicator. the equation of the reaction between sodium and water would be: Sodium) + Water = Sodium hydroxide) + Hydrogen) Na + H2O = NaOH + H2
Ex.: burning of methane, reaction of calcium carbonate with acetic acid, reaction of sodium with water.
