Answer

(a) $2K(s) + 2H_{2}O(l) -> 2KOH(aq) + H_{2}(g)$ (b) $NaH(s) + H_{2}O(l) -> NaOH(aq) + H_{2}(g)$ (c) $2Na(s) + O_{2}(g) -> Na_{2}O_{2}(s)$ (d) $K(s) + O_{2}(g) -> KO_{2}(s)$

Work Step by Step

Balancing the chemical equations so that the same number of each element are on both sides of the equation: (a) $2K(s) + 2H_{2}O(l) -> 2KOH(aq) + H_{2}(g)$ (b) $NaH(s) + H_{2}O(l) -> NaOH(aq) + H_{2}(g)$ (c) $2Na(s) + O_{2}(g) -> Na_{2}O_{2}(s)$ (d) $K(s) + O_{2}(g) -> KO_{2}(s)$
