Question

Sodium combines with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas which word equation represents this violent reaction

Answer 1

2Na + 2HOH = 2NaOH + H₂↑

Na-sodium

HOH-water

NaOH-sodium hydroxide

H₂-hydrogen gas

Answer 2

Answer:

B). Soduim + water = sodium hydroxide + hydrogen

Explanation:

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Sodium reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas during the process. This type of reaction is typical of group 1 metals.

This reaction is used to produce hydroxide of group 1 metals.
