Question
Explain the following reaction with the balanced equation.
Sodium burns in air
Advertisements
Solution
On burning, sodium metal combines with oxygen in the air to form sodium oxide.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Sodium}}{4Na_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Oxygen}}{O_{2(g)}} -> \underset{\text{Sodium oxide}}{2Na2O_{(s)}}}\]
