  1. Hi teacher,

    How does the sand help in absorb the heat/ prevent it from cracking the glass?

    Sodium in group 1 and reacts with water. But in this experiment, does the water act as a catalyst?

    How come the sodium cannot react without addition of water?

  2. 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

    teacher, macam mana sand to absorb heat and glass tu tak pecah?

    kenapa sodium tak react?

    kenapa kena ada addittion of water?

    kalau sodium + chlorine(liquid) what will happen?
