What alkali is produced when sodium chloride is added to water?

Sodium chloride is dissociated in water in Na+ and Cl-. Sodium is an alkali metal.


Why Sodium metal is not treated with water?

Sodium is an unstable element which reacts violently when in contact with water. Sodium added to water can result in explosions.


What gas is produced when NaCl is added to water?

Sodium chloride is soluble in water but don't react with water.


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.


What gas is produced when Sodium metal reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide and a gas that pops in the presence of a burning splint?

Hydrogen, H2


What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?

Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.


When calcium metal is placed in water is added to water the gas evolved does not catch fire but the same gas on adding sodium metal cathches fire why'?

In both reactions hydrogen gas is released but heat evolved in the sodium reaction is bigger.


What solution is produced when water and sodium thiosulfate will mixed?

A solution of sodium thiosulfate is produced.


Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen along with heat and light. what are the reactants in this chemical reaction?

Sodium metal and water


Can sodium metal become water?

No, sodium metal cannot become water. Sodium is a highly reactive metal, and when it comes into contact with water, it reacts violently and releases hydrogen gas. This reaction can be dangerous and should be avoided.


What is produced when sodium reacts with water?

Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen


What chemicals can heat water when added to it?

You want something that reacts with water and is exothermic. An example would be an alkali metal (such as sodium), or perhaps oxygen salts that react with water
