Balancing Equations

[Frith 08]

Hello all

There is one equation that I can't balance.

Na₂O+H₂O=2NaOH+O₂

Thank you

This one is impossible to balance.

You probably have Na₂O₂ instead of Na₂O:

Code: Select all

2 Na2O2 + 2 H2O = 4 NaOH + O2

Hope this helps.

the true equation is :

Code: Select all

Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH

the first , Na₂O₂ + H₂O = Na₂O₂.8H₂O , that reation make much heat then Na₂O₂.8H₂O is hydrolyzed make NaOH and O₂

but at lower temperature , the reaction happen :

Code: Select all

Na2O2 + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2O2
