Write a balanced equation for the reaction of solid sodium
hydride with water.
In a chemical reaction; the substance which involves in conversion is said to be reactant whereas the newly formed substance is called as product. Both reactant and products must be separated by arrow.
The physical states of reactant and product molecules must be mentioned in parenthesis as subscript.
A chemical reaction involves the conversion of reactant molecule to product molecules. A balance chemical reaction represents all the molecules and compounds involves in the chemical reaction. It shows the conversion of reactant to product separated by an arrow.
Reactant + Reagent ---> Product
The reaction of sodium hydride with water forms sodium hydroxide in solution with release hydrogen gas. Therefore the physical states of the reactant and product must come as sub-script with chemical formula. In the given reaction, NaH and NaOH are in aqueous solution whereas H2O is in liquid state and hydrogen is released as gaseous form.
