Which of the following is a product formed when \(Na_2O\) and \(H_2O\) react together? \(Na_2OH\\ O_2\\ NaOH\\ H_2\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

@Abhisar I think it is the last one

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I think it is the last one

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Na, sodium is a metal and metallic oxides react with water, give alkali. Ring a bell?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Wait, no, the 3rd one

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Why not the first one?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Wouldn't there also be 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen total?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\sf Na_2OH\) is wrong because valency of OH and Na is 1. So it will be NaOH. The complete reaction will be \(\sf Na_2O+H_2O\Rightarrow 2NaOH\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Oh ok
