Chapter 6, Problem 46(choose chapter or problem)
Sodium commonly forms the peroxide, Na2O2, when reacted with pure oxygen, rather than the simple oxide, Na2O, as we might expect. Sodium peroxide is fairly reactive. If sodium peroxide is added to water, oxygen gas is evolved, leaving a solution of sodium hydroxide. Write unbalanced chemical equations for the reaction of sodium with oxygen to form sodium peroxide and for the reaction of sodium peroxide with water.
