Answer: 2NaOH(aq) and H2(g)
Explanation:
The balanced equation below shows the production of an alkali (NaOH) with the liberation of hydrogen gas (H2)
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
The reactants are as follows:
- Sodium metal 2Na(s)
- liquid water 2H2O(l)
The products are as follows:
- Sodium hydroxide 2NaOH(aq)
- Hydrogen gas H2(g)
