2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) = (Na)2SO4(s) + 2H2O(l)
Should the it be 2(Na) or (Na)2?

It's all correct as far as balancing goes. (Na)2 is correct, though of course you write the 2 as a subscript. The only thing is that the sodium sulphate isn't solid: It's soluble, so it's there in the solution, unless you evaporate the water and form crystals.

it is correct in this form "2NaOH + H2So4= Na2SO4 + 2H2O" simply in the products the balance of the equation that is the number 2 means that u need 2 atoms of Na, and since Na is called a monovalent elmenet (i.e it only carries one electron in its outer most energy level then it will be 2Na not Na2). wish u luck

Na(2)

It should be 2NaOH + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2H2O simply (no brackets needed for the reaction) and the reaction is neutralising i.e.
Base + Acid = Salt + Water

2NaOH+H2SO4= Na2SO4+2H2O is correct.
