When sodium metal put in water, it start burning why |
|
Answer» Sodium (Na) is metal which is extremely reactive which reacts with water and produces hydrogen gas. H2\xa0gas catches fire as it creates intense heat from the reaction.2Na + 2H2O –> 2NaOH + H2 This is an exothermic reaction. Sodium metal is heated and may ignite and burn with a characteristic orange flame. Hydrogen gas released during the burning process reacts strongly with oxygen in air. Hope it will help you |
