Draw the products for the proton transfer reaction between sodium hydride and ethanol

Chemistry

Eduardwww [97]3 years ago

Sodium hydride has the formula NaH where we have a sodium ion, Na⁺ and a hydride ion, H⁻. Hydride is an incredibly powerful base. While it is capable of acting as a nucleophile, if there is an acidic proton in a molecule, the hydride will deprotonate the molecule and grab the most acidic proton.

The pka of H⁻ is 35. The pka of ethanol is 16. The species with the larger pka is the better base and is capable of deprotonating the species with the smaller pka. Therefore, the hydride will deprotonate the acidic -OH proton of the alcohol in the following reaction:

CH₃CH₂OH + NaH → CH₃CH₂O⁻Na⁺ + H₂

The result of the reaction is the hydride deprotonates the proton of the alcohol and forms the alkoxide, which is a sodium salt. This reaction also leads to the formation of H₂ gas which ensures that this reaction is not reversible as the H₂ leaves the reaction mixture upon formation.

GIVING BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER HAS THE BEST ANSWERS! :D
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1. All the possible energy transformations that occur with a dishwasher that uses electrical energy are heat energy because the dishwasher uses the electrical energy to heat the water, also electrical energy is transformed into kinetic energy and sound energy the reasoning behind this is that the parts moving inside the dishwasher is causing the sound.

2. Take as an example a light bulb inside a lamp to illuminate a room. When you plug it in a plug and turn it on, light is generated. More precisely, heat (Joule effect) is produced inside the lamp by its internal filament (conductive material) when it passes through the electrical energy, generated by the friction of the atoms that are inside it when it encounters a resistance.

Explanation:

Hope this helps love!! btw love ur pfp

Which of the following was not a contribution by Niels Bohr?Electrons are in orbits. There is a relationship between the outer s
lara31 [8.8K]
Neil Bohr contributed towards science in many ways, but his contributions did not include the charge of an electron. Neil Bohr recognized a relationship between the chemical properties of a substance and the number of valence shell electrons. Moreover, he introduced the atomic model in 1913 and provided the liquid-drop model to explain nuclear fusion.

How many grams are in 9.05 x 1023 atoms of silicon?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Explanation:

Number of moles(n)=Number of atoms(N)/Avogadro's constant.

Avogadro's constant=6.02×10²³

so we have

n=9.05×10²³/6.02×10²³

n=1.0503moles.

n=mass/molar mass

1.0503=mass/28

mass=1.0503×28

mass=29.4084g
