Reactions
Sodium Oxide has many reactions. Here is a list of how it reacts:
2 Na2O = Na2O2 + 2Na (t>700° С).Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH.
Na2O + 2HCl (diluted) = 2NaCl + H2O.
Na2O + CO2 = Na2CO3 (450—550° С).
Na2O + NO + NO2 = 2 NaNO2 (250° С).
Na2O + Al2O3 = 2 NaAlO2 (1200° С).
2 Na2O + O2 = 2 Na2O2 (250—350° С, pressure).
Na2O + NH3 (liquid) →τ NaNH2 + NaOH (- 50° С).
