Given the incomplete equation representing a reaction:

2Na(s) + 2H2O() → 2Na+(aq) + 2 _____ (aq) + H2(g)

What is the formula of the missing product

Sagot :

Answer : The formula of the missing product is, [tex]OH^_[/tex]

Explanation :

The given incomplete equation representing a reaction,

[tex]2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2__(aq)+H_2(g)[/tex]

When the sodium metal react with the water then it gives a colorless solution of sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. In the solution, sodium hydroxide is present in the form of ions i.e, [tex]Na^+[/tex] and [tex]OH^-[/tex] ions.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

[tex]2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+H_2(g)[/tex]

Therefore, the formula of the missing product is, [tex]OH^_[/tex]
