NaOH+WATER----->_________.
Answers:
Dr J your equation doesn' t balance.
I would write an ionic equation to show NaOH dissolving in H2O.
NaOH (s) ------> Na+(aq) + OH- (aq)
sodium ion and hydroxide ion
NaOH will ionize to Na+ and OH- and water molecules will surround each ion.
Sodium Ion(Na+) and Hydroxide Ion(OH-)
when Sodium hydroxide solves in water, it ionizes into this two ions. water in only a solvent.
NaOH + H2O ---> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
That will result in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
NaOH + water = weaker NaOH
The NaOH should be added to the water slowly as it may heat up.
I think the product of NaOH + H2O --> H2O +Na2O
But your not done..you have to balance the equation thus getting:
2NaOH + H2O --> 2H2O +Na2O
How this helps... :-)
NaOH + Water ===> NaOH (aqueous)
The water is not actually written in the equation as there is no 'reaction' with it.
NaOH(s) = Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
There is quite a lot of heat given off as well.
NaOH will dissolve in the water
