Sodium and Lithium react so rapidly with air and water, that they must be contained under oil.
Sodium burns rapidly in air, releasing heat and light energy.
If you explore around YouTube for videos of this reaction, some may explode. This is the light and heat energy being given off.
Equation: 4Na + O2 --> 2Na2O

What does hydrogen sulfur and oxygen make?
sulfuric acid, H2SO4 can you put that in sentence form please. at least two or three sentences.
Why is carbon monoxide more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel was burnt in the open air?
When fuel is burnt, the carbon bonds with oxygen. If enough oxygen is available this will become carbon dioxide. In engines, less oxygen is available, and so burning the fuel is more likely to form carbon monoxide than in open air.
What is the product when calcium is burnt?
Ca + 1/2 O2 => CaO, or quicklime. A more common reaction is the heating of calcium carbonate (limestone or marble) to produce oxygen and quicklime. CaCO3 => CaO +O2
What are two products formed when lavandulol is burnt in excess oxygen?
Carbon Dioxide & Water, Complete burning with excess of oxygen gives out Carbon Dioxide(CO2) + Water , While incomplete burning with limited amount of oxygen gives out Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water
What element removes oxygen from iron oxide?
It's a process...But Smelting and CarbonIron ores consists of oxygen and iron atoms bonded together into molecules. To convert it to metallic iron it must be smelted or sent through a direct reduction process to remove the oxygen. Oxygen-iron bonds are strong, and to remove the iron from the oxygen, a stronger elemental bond must be presented to attach to the oxygen. Carbon is used because the strength of a carbon-oxygen bond is greater than that of the iron-oxygen bond, at high temperatures. Thus, the iron ore must be powdered and mixed with coke, to be burnt in the smelting process.However, it is not entirely as simple as that; carbon monoxide is the primary ingredient of chemically stripping oxygen from iron. Thus, the iron and carbon smelting must be kept at an oxygen deficient (reducing) state to promote burning of carbon to produce CO not CO2.
What reaction happens when sodium is burnt in oxygen?
Formation of sodium oxide: 4 Na + O2 = 2 Na2O
Where does electron goes when sodium is burnt in Bunsen burner?
Goes to the oxygen.
What happens when coke is burnt in oxygen?
it emits extreme heat
Why sodium is burnt in air?
Sodium does not react easily with oxygen at a room temperature so it has to be heated up a little for the reaction to start. Since air is mostly oxygen once the reaction starts it gets pretty violent and the piece of sodium explode.
What happens to the hydrogen atoms in methane when it is burnt in plenty of oxygen?
it burns and seperates actually it burns and oxygen burns it , methane is the gas that we mostly use in southern countries for cooking
Does magnesium's weight increase when it is burnt?
If it is burnt with a gas such as oxygen then yes
What happens when wool is burnt?
a smell of burnt hair comes, i think
What happens when you smoke a half burnt cigarette?
the cigarette turn to full burnt
What happens after coal is burnt?
it melts
What does magnesium react with when burnt?
Oxygen in the air (O2)
What gas is used when methane is burnt?
Methane and oxygen.
