Question

Complete and balance the following equations:

$\mathrm{Na}+{\mathrm{O}}_2\to$

Answer 1

A chemical reaction is a process in which the substances called reactants react to produce new substances called products.

Sodium is highly reactive and reacts quickly with oxygen to form its respective oxide called Sodium oxide. The complete reaction is given as:

$$\begin{gathered} 4\mathrm{Na}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to 2{\mathrm{Na}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{s}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{Oxygen}\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{oxide} \end{gathered}$$
