Answer» 1. Fire in a glass of water during magic shows: In this magic, magician puts a sodium piece in the glass of water. Sodium reacts vigorously with water and form hydrogen gas. Heat is also released in this process.Fire is seen due to burning of hydrogen gas with the heat released. Sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen + heat 2.
