I need to write a formula where PbNa reacts with water.

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

They called it hydrone in the question and said it was an alloy of Na and Pb

Answer 3

Thanks. I would think your equation is ok.
