Pure sodium is so reactive with water that it doesn't exist on earth as a free element. When sodium is made to be free of impurities, it is stored in kerosene to keep it from reacting with the water vapor in the air. It is found instead in compounds (salt) with different metals in rock layers.
Sodium, the metal, may be purchased through a chemistry supply shop. Keep in mind that in this post 9/11 world, you may be required to have a special permit to purchase it, or be able to demonstrate an educational need for it.

What happens when you mix sodium hydroxide with phosphoric acid?
Sodium phosphate is obtained.
What does sodium carbonate plus calcium chloride form?
Calcium carbonate (insoluble in water) is obtained and sodium chloride.
What form is Sodium found in nature?
Sodium is found as a soft solid metal in nature. It is not commonly found by itself, it reacts with things so violently that it is usually found as a compound with other items. Most commonly found is sodium chloride which is just salt. NaCl
Is sodium hydroxide obtained from rock salt?
Sodium hydroxide is obtained from salt, yes. The manufacture of this strong base is accomplished mainly from what is termed the chloralkali process. This is the electrolysis of a salt solution which produces sodium hydroxide and also chlorine and hydrogen gas. It is an industrial process that is important to the chemical industry. A link follows.
What are the reactants and products of sodium chloride?
combusion, solium and chloride For example sodium chloride may be obtained by the following reaction: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
How can sodium be obtained from sodium cholride?
Sodium can be obtained from sodium chloride by making a solution of it and then elctrolysing it. The pure sodium metal can be obtained on electrolysis.
Where is sodium metal generally found?
It is not found as a pure metal on Earth. It can be obtained from its chloride salt (Table salt).
Where sodium is obtained?
Sodium cannot be obtained as the pure metal and it is extracted by electrolysis of a sodium salt.
How is sodium obtained for commercial use?
It is obtained by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride in Downs cell.
How can sodium be reduced from sodium chloride?
Sodium can be obtained from sodium chloride by the electrolysis of molten NaCl.
What can sodium chloride be obtained from?
oh my freaking god, what do you need sodium chloride for? it's TABLE SALT!!
What happens when you mix sodium hydroxide with phosphoric acid?
Sodium phosphate is obtained.
What is the main product in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride?
Sodium and chlorine are obtained.
What is salt divided?
In the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride sodium and chlorine are obtained.
What is sodium acetate made?
Sodium acetate is obtained from the reaction of the acetic acid with sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, etc.
How do you get salt from the sea?
Evaporating the water from sea waters crystallized sodium chloride is obtained.
Electrolytes of molten sodium chloride gives this product at cathode?
Sodium is obtained at the cathode.
