Today in Honors Earth Science:
We put about a tablespoon of sodium into a bucket of water that was about one third of the way full. The result was quite explosive, along with some Hydrogen gas and some 2NaOH.
This is 2NaOH. There are obviously more than 2 sodium atoms. The water doesn't actually turn pink right after the reaction. The coloring was caused by a universal indicator-type solution. It's still pretty awesome.
