When sodium metal is placed in a beaker of water hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide solution are formed?

Answer 1

the sodium and hydroxide atoms separate into ions and the positive sodium ions are attracted to the oxygen atoms and the hydroxides are attracted to positive charged part of water, the hydrogen making another molecule.

Answer 2

Sodium metal reacts violently with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. It is an exothermic reaction and the heat evolved is sufficient to ignite the hydrogen gas resulting in a flame.

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 3

When sodium metal reacts with water, it produces hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. The sodium metal reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, releasing hydrogen gas as a byproduct of the reaction. This reaction is highly exothermic and can be dangerous if not controlled properly.

Answer 4

yes this is true when you react sodium (Na) with water (h2o) you are left with sodium hydroxide and hydrodgen gas

Answer 5

Correct.

All you need to do now is balance the equation.

Answer 6

that's correct :)

symbol equation -->

Na + H20 -> NaOH + H

Answer 7

The balanced chemical equation is: 2H2O(g) + 2Na(s) --> 2NaOH(s) + H2(g)

Answer 8

Na2 + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2
