Sodium is highly reactive with water. If water meets sodium the result is explosive.

Why would you not use sodium for making water pipes?
sodium and water often make babies. you dont want your water and your sodium making pipes, do you?
Why does Sodium methyl sulfate make poor detergents?
Sodium methyl has a very low water solubility.
Does sodium polyacrylate and water make a chemical reaction?
yes!it make fake ice
If is freezing outside and the outside water spigot has no water coming out what should you do?
take some clean ice and boil it so you can make water
How Make up a 7.5 percent solution of sodium carbonate in water?
take 7.5 gram of sodium carbonate and dissovled in 100 ml of water..thats it.. this solution is called 7.5% sodium carbonate soultion.
Can homemade sodium acetate make hot ice?
Yes. You can boil a mixture of sodium acetate in water and subsequently cool it. If you cause it to precipitate, it will feel hot.
Can you make soap with objects naturally kept at home?
You need natural greases, sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and water; also a steel container and a source of heat.
What does boil the billy mean?

How do people make jello?
First, you boil some water, make sure the wateer gets hot, the you empty the jello into the container that you are going to refrigerate the container, then pour enough of hot water, mix until the jello is liquidifed. then put in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
How do you make concentrated orange juice?
Put it in a sealed container and attach an air conditioning suction pump that will boil off the water. Boil it in a pot. Let me know how it tastes after boiling. At least it will be germ free.
Why does water on top of a mountain boil at lower temperature than a sea level?
Boiling and evaporation are basically the same change of phase -- from a liquid (water) to water vapor or steam. One of the factors of when this phase change occurs is "pressure". You can make water "boil" in a closed container without adding "heat" by simply by rapidly expanding the size of the container. Atmospheric pressure (literally the 'weight' of the air above) at mountain altitudes is less that it is at sea level. As a result, it takes less heat to make water evaporate or "boil" on top of a mountain.

How can you make sodium chlorate I heard that if you boil bleach it turns into sodium chloride and then sodium chlorate. Is this true If not is there any other way to make sodium chlorate?
Sodium chloride is just salt so boiling bleach is kind of a hassle. However, you can make sodium chlorate through electrolysis of a hot sodium chloride solution. I have not tried this but it have heard it works. It is unnecessary to boil down bleach. To make Sodium Chlorate, you can simply use Sodium Chloride, which is table salt and can be bought at the grocery store. You must first mix the salt in water, about 330 grams per litre. Then put the mixture in a pot, and insert rods connected to opposite ends of a battery or car battery charger. This is called Electrolysis. You can also heat the mixture, but do not boil it. This may speed up the reaction. Once all of the salt is dissovled in the water you filter out the water with a coffee filter and dry it. Once dried, you now have Sodium Chlorate, which can be used to make explosives by adding aluminum powder to it or magnesium powder or any sort of fuel including sugar.
Does salt added to water make the water heat up faster than water without salt added and if both are heated to a boil?
NO Normal water boils faster because salt (sodium chloride) breaks up very slowly and since its salt water. The salt binds itself with the molecules of the water therefore increasing the boiling point, hence making it slower to boil. In comparison to normal water, salt water takes longer to boil than normal water.
What liquids boil?
Heat can make water boil, like when you put a pot of water on the stove on high!
How do you make water safe for drinking?
boil it
How do you make food for hummingbirds?
I make 4 cups of water, 1 cup of sugar for the feeder. I boil it but I have heard you do not have to. Not a rolling boil, just a small boil.
