Interaction of sodium metal with water #experiment #science #chemistry #shorts

The interaction of sodium metal with water leads to the formation of sodium hydroxide and the release of hydrogen. The equation of the reaction is as follows:

2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2

This reaction generates a lot of heat, so the reaction is very fast and can cause the water to catch fire. Therefore, under laboratory conditions this reaction is carried out with caution and under control.
