Hedef

Sodyumu suyla tepkimeye sokarak alkali metallerin reaktivitesini göstermek; hidrojen oluşumu ve hidroksit oluşumunu gözlemlemek.

Arka Plan

Sodium metal reacts vigorously with water in a classic demonstration of alkali metal reactivity: 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂. The sodium skates across the water surface as hydrogen gas is evolved, often melting into a ball from the heat of reaction. Adding phenolphthalein indicator to the water reveals the spreading pink color of NaOH as it forms. This reaction illustrates metallic bonding (soft metal), oxidation states, and the trend of increasing reactivity down Group 1.

Güvenlik Uyarıları

  • Sodium is highly reactive — NEVER handle with bare hands
  • Keep sodium away from water until ready for demonstration
  • Cut sodium on a dry tile; keep pieces small (pea-sized maximum)
  • Use safety shield between reaction and audience
  • Hydrogen gas is flammable — larger pieces may ignite the hydrogen
  • NaOH solution formed is corrosive
  • Never use pieces larger than a small pea for this demonstration

Malzemeler

  • Sodium metal (1 small piece)
    Pea-sized, stored under mineral oil
  • Phenolphthalein indicator (5 mL)
    Added to water
  • Distilled water (500 mL)

Ekipman

Large glass trough or crystallizing dish Safety shield Forceps Scalpel or knife (for cutting sodium) Filter paper Tile for cutting

Prosedür

1

Fill the trough with about 300 mL of water. Add a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Set up the safety shield.

2

Using forceps, remove a small piece of sodium from the mineral oil. Blot excess oil with filter paper on a dry tile.

2 dak Keep all water away from cutting area
3

Cut a very small piece (no larger than a pea). Return the remainder to the mineral oil.

2 dak Cut on dry surface only
4

Drop the sodium piece into the water from behind the safety shield. Step back immediately.

1 dak STEP BACK after dropping
5

Observe: the sodium floats, melts into a ball, darts across the surface, fizzes (H₂ evolution), and the water turns pink (NaOH + phenolphthalein).

5 dak Do not lean over the trough
6

After the reaction is complete, test the pH of the solution with pH paper (should be >12).

3 dak Solution is now corrosive NaOH
7

Discuss: Group 1 reactivity trend (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs), the redox nature of the reaction, and why sodium floats (density 0.97 g/mL < 1.0 g/mL).

Beklenen Sonuçlar

The sodium piece fizzes vigorously on the water surface, darting around as hydrogen is released. It melts into a shiny ball. The phenolphthalein turns the water bright pink in a spreading pattern. With very small pieces, no flame occurs; slightly larger pieces may produce a yellow sodium flame.

Temizlik

Neutralize the NaOH solution with dilute HCl before disposing down the drain. Ensure no unreacted sodium remains. Clean the trough thoroughly.
