Is the gas produced when sodium mixes with water a physical change or chemical change?

It is a chemical change, as sodium cannot evaporate (or water go to water vapor) without added heat. The main gas produced in this highly exothermic chemical reaction is hydrogen, liberated from the water by the combination of a hydroxide radical (OH) with the sodium, yielding a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The heat released is typically sufficient to ignite and burn both the sodium and the released hydrogen. So pure sodium metal oddly appears to catch fire and burn when placed in water.
