Solution
The reaction of an alkali metal with oxygen - React rapidly with oxygen
4Na + O2 → 2Na2O
The reaction of an alkali metal with water - React with water violently and produce hydrogen
2M + 2H2O → 2MOH + H2
The reaction of an alkali metal with acid - React violently with dilute. HCl and dilute. H2SO4 to produce hydrogen
2M + 2HCl → 2MCl + H2
