Kinetic Energy into Potential Energy
Answer:
Major product ethoxide ion
Explanation:
- Sodium hydride acts as a strong base towards ethanol.
- Hydride ion abstracts one proton from -OH group in ethanol to produce sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas.
- It is an example of acid-base reaction where sodium hydride acts as a base and ethanol acts as an acid
- Structure of major organic product i.e. ethoxide ion has been shown below.
Steam is the gaseous phase of water. It is used in some cases to melt ice. Melting of ice is the conversion of solid water to liquid water. This is just a phase change in which water changes its state from solid state to liquid state. But the chemical composition of water
remains unchanged. Water has the same molecular formula in both the solid (ice) and liquid states. Hence, the conversion of solid ice to liquid water by steam refers to a physical change.
An example is the cell theory
