0. The sentence "2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) → 2NaOH _(aq) + H₂ ↑" consists of the subject ( 2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) ), the predicate ( → ), and the object

( 2 NaOH _(aq) + H₂ ↑ ).

N.B.

NaOH _(aq) = NaOH _{(dissolved in H2O (l))}

1. The sentence "2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) → 2NaOH _(aq) + H₂ ↑" describes an irreversible process, that is:

2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) → 2NaOH _(aq) + H₂ ↑ $~\Leftrightarrow$ 2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) → 2NaOH _(aq) + H_{2 (g)} $~\land \neg$( 2NaOH _(aq) + H_{2 (g)} → 2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) )

N.B.

$~\land$ is [logical] and.

$~\neg$ is [logical] not.

$~\neg$( 2NaOH _(aq) + H_{2 (g)} → 2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l) ) $~\Leftrightarrow$ It is false that 2NaOH _(aq) + H_{2 (g)} → 2Na _(s) + 2H₂O _(l).
