Which of the following is the balanced equation for the reaction of Sodium with Water?
A$Na + H_2O \rightarrow NaO + H_2$
B$2Na + 2H_2O \rightarrow 2NaOH + H_2$
C$Na + 2H_2O \rightarrow NaOH_2 + H_2$
D$2Na + H_2O \rightarrow Na_2O + H_2$
✓ Correct Answer: B — $2Na + 2H_2O \rightarrow 2NaOH + H_2$
Sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced coefficients are 2, 2, 2, 1.
