Sodium Peroxide Balanced Equation

The balanced chemical equation for sodium peroxide is:

2 Na + O2 → 2 Na2O2

In this equation, two moles of sodium (Na) react with one mole of oxygen gas (O2) to produce two moles of sodium peroxide (Na2O2). The equation is balanced because the same number of atoms of each element appear on both sides of the equation. Specifically, there are four sodium atoms, two oxygen atoms in the reactants, and four sodium atoms and two oxygen atoms in the products.
