Write the balanced equations for the following chemical reactions.
Sodium + water `to` sodium hydroxide + hydrogen

Explanation

To write the balanced equation for the reaction of sodium with water, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
The unbalanced equation for the reaction of sodium (Na) with water (H₂O) to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H₂) can be written as:
\[ \text{Na} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{NaOH} + \text{H}_2 \]
