Principle: This is a reaction between sodium hydride and water, producing sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Phenolphthalein is added to the solution as an indicator, which is why it appears purplish-red. Fun fact: Sodium hydride is a substance with extremely strong basicity; it can take protons from many compounds to form corresponding sodium compounds, which is very useful in organic synthesis. Risk: High. Sodium hydride is highly reactive with vigorous reactions. Recorder: PeriodicVideos
Risk: High. Sodium hydride is highly reactive and undergoes intense reactions
