Sodium | Office of Environmental Health and Safety
Sodium reacts violently on contact with powerful oxidizers and water. Do not grind sodium or heat it. Upon contact with water, acids or alcohols, sodium produces an exothermic reaction involving release of flammable hydrogen gas. Hydrogen production also occurs in the presence of dry air above 239 o F. Storage
