(i ) When Na metal is dropped in water, it reacts violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The chemical equation involved in the reaction is:
2Na„, + 2H2O—> 2NaOH+ H2O,g,
(ii ) On being heated in air, sodium reacts vigorously with oxygen to form sodium peroxide. The chemical equation involved in the reaction is:
2Na + O2→ Na2O2
