Solution

Dear Student,
1. When sodium reacts with oxygen, sodium oxide is formed as per the following reaction:
$4 N a + O_{2} \to 2 N a_{2} O$
2. Sodium oxide dissolves in water to form sodium hydroxide:
$N a_{2} O + H_{2} O \to 2 N a O H$
3. NaOH when reacts with HCl forms NaCl and H₂O:
$N a O H + H C l \to N a C l + H_{2} O$
Regards
