Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. 2Na+ H2O------> 2NaOH+H2
Balanced equation for Sodium + Water ---> Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen
