Sodium Metal 100gm

Original price was: $3,000.00.Current price is: $2,500.00.
Chemical Formula: Na Appearance: Sodium metal is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. It is shiny when freshly cut but tarnishes rapidly in air due to oxidation. Physical Properties:
  • Atomic Number: 11
  • Density: 0.97 g/cm³ at 20°C
  • Melting Point: 97.79°C (207.02°F)
  • Boiling Point: 883°C (1621°F)
  • Hardness: Sodium is soft enough to be cut with a knife.
Chemical Properties:
  • Reactivity: Sodium is highly reactive, especially with water, producing sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and can be explosive. 2Na+2H2O→2NaOH+H22Na + 2H_2O → 2NaOH + H_22Na+2H2​O→2NaOH+H2​
  • Oxidation: In air, sodium rapidly oxidizes, forming a layer of sodium oxide (Na_2O).
Storage: Due to its reactivity, sodium metal is stored under oil or in an inert atmosphere, such as argon, to prevent reactions with moisture and oxygen in the air.
