I need to write a formula where PbNa reacts with water.
2PbNa + 2 H20 = 2 NaOh + H2 +Pb
It says in the question that lead doesn't react with water, but Na does. Did I write the formula correctly?
PbNa is a new compound on me. If it exists and you want only one equation, yours looks ok except it isn't balanced.You need 2 Pb on the right and sodium hydroxide is NaOH instead of NaOh.
They called it hydrone in the question and said it was an alloy of Na and Pb
Thanks. I would think your equation is ok.
Yes, you have correctly written the formula for the reaction of PbNa with water. The balanced equation you provided is:
2PbNa + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2 + Pb
In this reaction, sodium (Na) reacts with water (H2O) to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen gas (H2), and lead (Pb). Since lead (Pb) does not react with water in this equation, it remains as a product. However, it's important to note that reactions can be influenced by various factors, such as temperature and concentration, so lead's reactivity with water might differ under different conditions.
