The reaction is violent, even explosive. The sodium reacts with an acid to produce a sodium salt and hydrogen gas. The reaction produces enough heat to melt the sodium and ignite the hydrogen. If the reaction does produces an explosion it can send flaming, molten pieces of sodium through the air.
For these reason the reaction is dangerous.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium and water is: 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2 This means that for every mole of sodium (Na) reacted, one mole of hydrogen gas (H2) is produced. Therefore, when 0.066 mole of sodium is reacted, 0.066 mole of hydrogen gas will be produced.
The reaction between sodium trioxocarbonate IV (sodium carbonate) and dilute hydrochloric acid produces carbon dioxide gas. This can be represented by the following equation: Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2.
Neutralization reaction occurs between dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, resulting in the formation of water and a salt (sodium chloride).
Sodium chloride is an ionically bonded compound formed by the reaction of sodium and chlorine atoms. In the compound, each sodium atom that reacted becomes a positively charged sodium cation and each chlorine atoms that reacted becomes a negatively charged chloride anion.
When chlorine gas reacts with a cold dilute solution of sodium hydroxide, it forms a mixture of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl). This reaction is used in the production of household bleach.
The reaction of sodium metal with water is highly exothermic. Hydrogen gas is liberated and autoignites from the heat. With an acid, even more hydrogen gas is liberated and ignites.
The reaction of sodium with dilute acid and even pure water is violent. The reaction produces hydrogen gas, which ignites and in turn ignites the sodium. In some cases the sodium can explode, sending droplets of burning, molten sodium into the air.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react with dilute Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) to form Sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O).
Dilute Nitric acid when reacted with Sodium hydroxide will produce Sodium nitrate and Water. NaOH + HNO3 = NaNO3 + H2O.
