2 Na+ 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2
2H2 +O2 = 2H2O
The second reaction is in there for a reason: Sodium reacts extremely violently with water. In fact, it creates a two-stage explosion. In the first stage, the sodium creates sodium hydroxide plus hydrogen and a LOT of heat. In the second, the hydrogen ignites to form water. The more sodium you use, the more reaction product you get and the bigger the explosion is.

Sodium metal is normally stored under water?
Nope. Sodium reacts violently with water. The pure stuff is normally stored under oil.
Sodium oxide reacts with water to produce?
sodium hydroxide (aq)
Why must sodium be stored under paraffin?
Sodium reacts with moisture, it will eventually turn to sodium hydroxide from moisture in the air. It reacts violently with water.
Sodium oxide soluble?
Sort of. Sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, which is soluble.
What is a basic oxide?
Answer:In Chemistry, A Basic Oxide Is An Oxide That Either Reacts With Water To Form A Base Or Reacts With An Acid To Form A Salt. One Example is Sodium Oxide That Reacts With Water To Produce Sodium Hydroxide.
How is the way the element sodium reacts with water different from the way the compound sodium chloride reacts with water?
Sodium reacts violently with water, while sodium chloride (or table salt) dissolves in water.
What reacts with water to make hydrogen gas?
Aluminium foil, sodium hydroxide
What happens if sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol reacts with water?
The sodium methoxide reacts with the water to produce sodium hydroxide an methanol.
What is alkali formed when sodium reacts with cold water?
Sodium reacts with water to produce Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen gas.2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2
Does water react with sodium?
Yes, sodium reacts violently with water.
What is produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen
When sodium reacts with water it forms?
it forms sodium hydroxide
What does sodium reacts with?
Sodium is so reactive it is usually found in compounds. It reacts most violently with water, creating sodium hydroxide.
How is the way sodium reacts with water different from the way sodium chloride reacts with water?
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).
What is the solubility of sodium in water?
Sodium doesn't dissolve in water, it reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen: sodium + water ----> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Sodium metal is normally stored under water?
Nope. Sodium reacts violently with water. The pure stuff is normally stored under oil.
Sodium oxide reacts with water to produce?
sodium hydroxide (aq)
