Answer
When sodium peroxide is dissolved in water, it is readily hydrolysed to form sodium hydroxide and water. The chemical equation involved in the reaction is:
$\text{Na}_2\text{O}_{2(\text{s})}+2\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(\text{l})}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{NaOH}_{(\text{aq})}+\text{H}_2\text{O}_{2(\text{aq})}$
$\text{Na}_2\text{O}_{2(\text{s})}+2\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(\text{l})}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{NaOH}_{(\text{aq})}+\text{H}_2\text{O}_{2(\text{aq})}$
