We learned about Metals & Its Reactivity Series.

Sodium (Na) is considered a very reactive metal and it will reacts vigorously when added into water.

Video below shows the “mini explosions” that occurs when a small piece of sodium is added into a large basin of water.

Alternatively, you can check out this specific link to this youtube video.

Na + H2O -> NaO + H2 ?

(I’m unsure. =/)

Hey Terence,

Good try but your suggested answer is not the correct one.

Come on..think about it and try again…

Metal + Water –>> A__________ + H2

PS: Try it again!

hey Terence,

Well Done. Spot On!

Are you doing Pure Chemistry or Combine Science (Chem)?

I will be conducting a public Chemistry Workshop on Redox & Electrolysis for Pure Chemistry students. Join me if you are not able to score well in Redox and/or Electrolysis yet. Btw, you need to know Electrolysis well, cos it comes out almost every year.

All The Best To Your Academic Success in Chemistry,
Sean
