A reaction between sodium, oxygen, calcium, and argon ?

So, if all those elements were to react together, what would be the end products?

Appreciate it.

    The sodium would preferentially get the oxygen, because the sodium gives up its extra electron more easily than the calcium does.  So you end up with Na2O plus calcium plus argon.  If there's more oxygen than sodium, you'd end up with Na2O plus some CaO, plus argon.  If the sodium weren't there, you'd end up with CaO plus argon, plus possibly some "left over" Ca or O2.

    NaOCaAr

    Na2O >>  sodium oxide

    CaO >> Calcium oxide

    Argon is inert and does not react
