clay minerals and calcium carbonate
salt solution and clay minerals
salt solution and clay minerals
salt solution and iron oxide
salt solution and iron oxide
clay minerals and iron oxide
None of the above options are correct. When water reacts with sodium in rocks, the products that are produced are sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).
The correct answer is: clay minerals and salt solution. Sodium in rocks reacts with water to form clay minerals and salt solution.
To determine the products produced when water reacts with sodium in rocks, we need to understand the chemical reactions involved. When water reacts with sodium (Na) in rocks, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2) are formed. The reaction can be represented as:
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Therefore, the correct answer would be "salt solution (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2)", which is not listed among the given options.
