Best Answer

A strong electrolyte dissociates completely into ions in aqueous solution. When sodium sulfite, a strong electrolyte, is put into water the cations and anions are surrounded by water molecules and the solid dissolves.

Na2SO3(s) 2Na+(aq) + SO32-(aq)

We represent this state by the symbol "(aq)" to indicate that the ions are in aqueous solution.

Alternative Answer:

Sodium peroxide and water undergo a double replacement reaction which is highly exothermic,

1 Na2O2 + 2 H2O --> 2 NaOH + 1 H2O2

such that the heat generated is sufficient to burn shredded paper.

Is hydrogen peroxide the same as sodium carbonate proxyhidray?

Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate (also called sodium percarbonate) is not the same as hydrogen peroxide -- but when it is dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate ("washing soda"). The sodium carbonate increases the bleaching action of the hydrogen peroxide. It also acts as a water softener, which makes any added detergent more effective. Sodium percarbonate is commonly used as a non-chlorine laundry bleach.


What is the product of the reaction between sodium peroxide and water?

The exothermic reaction of sodium peroxide and water is as follows: Na2O2(s) + 2 H2O(l) --> 2 NaOH(aq) + H2O2(aq) The hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, that is produced quickly decomposes into water and oxygen gas due to the catalyzing influence of sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
