I don’t know what you mean by classification exactly but it is a redox equation. The reactant side of carbon is losing hydrogen to form carbon dioxide. And oxygen is gaining hydrogen which gives you the water. Redox reactions are also known as combustion reactions.
Explanation:
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide.
