Answer 1

sure !

equation balanced:

2 Na + 2 H₂O = 2 NaOH + H₂ ( single replacement )

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: YES

Explanation: The given chemical equation can be balanced by balancing the stiochiometric number of each and every element.

This rule is in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Masses which states that the masses of the elements in any chemical equation are constant at any instant of time.

Thus the given equation can be written as

`2Na + 2H2O \rightleftharpoons  2NaOH + H2`
