Sodium reacts with water. A small piece of sodium metal (Na) is dropped into a jar with water (H2O). Sodium melts, floats and fizzes, producing bubbles of hydrogen gas (H2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH): Na + H2O -> NaOH + H2, and then even starts to burn producing characteristic orange-yellow flame, until all sodium is used up in the reaction. | |
