Saline hydrides (i.e., \mathrm{NaH}, \mathrm{LiH} , etc.) react with water to form a base and hydrogen gas. The chemical equation used to represent the reaction can be written as:
\mathrm{MH}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \rightarrow \mathrm{MOH}_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{g})}
The reaction is violent and produces fire.
