Sodium reacts with all liquids having -OH group as water , alcohols, phenols and carboxylic acids. 2- propanol is isopropyl alcohol so sodium forms Sodium isopropoxide and evolves hydrogen gas.

React sodium metal with ethanol.
When sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride what will each sodium atom do?
what does sodium metal and choline gas react to form
Can sodium metal react with liquid acetone?
yes, it does.
What can you observe when Sodium and Chlorine react?
Naturally, Sodium is a metal (solid) and chlorine is a gas, so they only react at high temperatures or pressure. When they do react, they form crystals (sodium chloride).
What happens when Iron metal and sodium hydroxide react?
no reaction
