Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2Na + 2HOH ====> 2NaOH + H2

This reaction is very reactive. It does not take much to get it going.

Na is sodium

HOH is another way to write water.

NaOH is Sodium Hydroxide.

H2 is hydrogen gas.

The hydrogen gas can ignite if there is an open flame around. Don't do this experiment with a Bunsen Burner nearby.
