Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction
Explanation:
sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.
This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.
Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.
Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.
So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.
The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.
The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.
The following reaction occurs:
NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa
what do u need help with u pls respond quickly
Answer:
How may we help kind sir
Explanation:
and if this was for points thanks
The balanced chemical reaction is :
Number of moles of Na, 
.
Now, from balance chemical reaction we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 4 moles of sodium.
So, number of moles of oxygen are :
So, amount of oxygen required is :
Therefore, 5.08 gram of oxygen will react with 14.6 gram of sodium.
