A
Sodium chloride (NaCl) and oxygen gas (O2)
B
Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and water (H2O)
C
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2)
D
Sodium oxide (Na2O) and hydrogen gas (H2)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Sodium reacts vigorously with water to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).
The chemical equation for this reaction is:
\[ 2 \, \text{Na} + 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \, \text{NaOH} + \text{H}_2 \]
