Which is the correct chemical equation for the following statement? “Sodium reacts with oxygen in a 2 to 1 ratio to produce sodium oxide.”

Respuesta :

I think answer youre looking for is 2Na+O->Na2O . But sadly it is wrong since we dont use  atomic oxygen in reactions. It should be rather
4Na+O2 => 2Na2O but it doesnt correspond to ratios given.
