this is the hazard card for sodium. quite dangerous

I CONFIRM THE PREVIOUS ANSWERs.
You cannot try this Experiment Types, very Dangerous Ones.
The Electrodic Half-reactions involved are the following ones :
i) Na(s) ---> Na+(aq) + e........(-2.71 V)
ii) 2 H+(aq) + 2e ---> H2(g)....(0.00V)
so the Nernst Electrical Potential is
(0.00) - (-2.71) = +2.71 V
and the related Gibb's Free Energy is
0 - 2 * 96,500 * (+2.71) = -5.2E+5 J/mol
THIS GREAT ENERGY's AMOUNT MAY BE SPENT IN HEAT's PHENOMENA, so the acidic media may spray its caustic drops all around!!!
I hope this helps you.

sodium is one of the most reactive group....it can make a explosion when mixed unexperienced. If you mix it with magnesium it can explode not really explosive. If you mix it with another chemical it can explode a building... the only element that it can react with that does'nt explode is Cl which makes salt
