Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, along with heat and light. What are the reactants in this chemical reaction

Sodium metal and water

Explanation:

As you may already know, a chemical reaction is formed by "mixing" the reagents that will generate a result, which are the products.

Regents can be considered the ingredients of the reaction. In this case, if you say that water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, together with heat and light, you mean that if we mix the ingredients water and sodium metal, we will have as a result sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, along with heat and light. In this case, water and sodium metal are the reaction reagents.

Reactant in the mentioned chemical reaction are:

Explanation:

Water (H2O) and sodium metal (Na)

Further Explanation:

Reactants are the beginning materials of a chemical reaction.

The substances newly formed are called products.

In the above reaction, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, heat and light are the products.

When sodium is reacted with water, it dirt's on water producing a hissing sound due to the production of hydrogen gas.
