Balance the equationNa + H₂O → NaOH + H₂

Answer:

Balance the equation

Sodium metal reacting with water to give base sodium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas

Na + H₂O →   NaOH + H₂  (Unbalanced equation)

2Na + 2H₂O →   2NaOH + H₂  (Balanced equation)

The number of hydrogen, oxygen, and sodium atoms on either side of the equation are equal. Hence the equation is balanced.
