What is fire temperature of sodium metal

What is fire temperature of sodium metal

What is fire temperature of sodium metal

(OP)
If pure sodium metal is burned, for example, when it is burned on the ground in the ambient air after the molten sodium is leaked out from a container or pipe, what temperature of its fire can reach? Thank you in advance for your helps!

RE: What is fire temperature of sodium metal

Another source states that "the maximum flame temperature of the sodium combustion is 1,950 K at the standard atmospheric condition, and is not affected by the existence of moisture."
