Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- The reaction between sodium and water is a single displacement reaction, represented by the balanced chemical equation: 2Na (sodium) + 2H2O (water) → 2NaOH (sodium hydroxide) + H2 (hydrogen gas)
- Combustion of a hydrocarbon is a type of oxidation reaction, involving the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen, typically resulting in the formation of water and carbon dioxide
Roles of Reactants
- In the reaction 2H2 (hydrogen) + O2 → 2H2O (water), oxygen acts as an oxidizing agent, facilitating the combustion of hydrogen to form water
