In a popular classroom demonstration, solid sodium is added to liquid water and reacts to produce hydrogen gas and aqueous sodium hydroxide. part a write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

The chemical reaction is given below.

Explanation:

When solid sodium metal reacts with water molecule to produce aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The equation for this follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of solid sodium metal reacts with 2 moles of water molecule to produce 2 moles of sodium hydroxide and 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

Sodium metal is present in solid state, Water molecule is present in liquid state, Sodium hydroxide is present in aqueous state and hydrogen is present in gaseous state.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
