Question

The solution left after the reaction of Sodium with water is alkaline.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The solution left after reaction of Sodium (Na) with water is alkaline.

• $\underset{\left(\mathrm{Sodium}\right)}{2\mathrm{Na}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\left(\mathrm{Water}\right)}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}\to \underset{(\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{hydroxide})}{2\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\left(\mathrm{Hydrogen}\right)}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
• The Sodium hydroxide solution obtained after the reaction turns red litmus blue which indicates its alkaline nature.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
