Sodium Water Reaction – Explanation When sodium (Na) is added to water (H₂O), it causes a highly exothermic chemical reaction, producing: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) – a strong base Hydrogen gas (H₂) – which may ignite or even explode Heat – often enough to ignite the hydrogen gas 💥 Balanced Chemical Equation: 2Na 2H₂O → 2NaOH H₂↑ heat 🔬 What You Observe: Sodium floats and moves rapidly on water It fizzes and releases gas Heat is released It may catch fire with an orange or yellow flame A small ex
