Ethanol reacts with sodium and forms two products which are:

Ethanol reacts with sodium and form Sodium ethoxide and hydrogen.
The common name of ethanol is ethyl alcohol and the formula is C₂H₅OH or CH₃CH₂OH. It is obtained by fermentation of molasses which are obtained from the juice of sugarcane. Ethanol reacts with sodium metal to evolve hydrogen gas.

    2Na   +  2CH₃-CH₂-OH    →   2CH₃-CH₂-O^—Na⁺   +  H₂ 
(Sodium)      (Ethanol)                   (Sodium ethoxide)   

To test the presence of hydrogen gas, bring a burning matchstick near to the gas, it will burn with a pop sound.
