Select the classification for the following reaction. 2na(s) + 2h2o(l) → 2naoh(aq) + h2(g) a. precipitation b. acid-base c. redox d. combination e. none of the above

The answer to your question: I think is letter c

Explanation:

                       2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

a.- Precipitation: is incorrect because for this kind of reactions one of the products  must be a precipitate and in the reaction we see that NAOH is soluble in water (aq) and H2 is a gas, none of them precipitate.

b. acid - base: the reactants must be an acid and a base, and the reactants of this reaction has a base but it's in the products.

c. Redox: This reaction is a redox reaction because for this reaction the oxidation numbers of the reactants must change and this happen in this reaction (H changes from +1 to 0) and Na changes from 0 to +1.

d. Combination. In this reaction the reactants combine to form a new compound and this doesn't happen here.

e. None of the above. is false because letter C is correct.
