Question

Which sequence of reactions shows correct chemical relation between sodium and its compounds?

• A. \( \text{Na}^+ + \text{O}_2 \longrightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{O} \)
• B. \( \text{Na}^+ + \text{H}_2 \longrightarrow \text{NaH} \)
• C. \( \text{Na}^+ + \text{CO}_2 \longrightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \)
• D. \( \text{Na}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \longrightarrow \text{NaOH} \)

Hint:

Sodium reacts vigorously with oxygen and water to form sodium oxide and sodium hydroxide.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct sequence is the one that shows the typical reactions of sodium with oxygen, water, and other elements, where sodium forms sodium oxide and sodium hydroxide.
