Answer:

Since this is an ionic compound, you must balance the charges so that overall charge of the compound is neutral. Sodium, an alkali metal, has a tendency to lose one electron. As a result sodium normally carries a positive one charge. Sulfur, a nonmetal, has a tendency to gain 2 electrons.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Reduced, alkane

Explanation:

Wolf-Kishner reaction is a type of reduction reaction in which aldehydes and ketones are reduced to their corresponding alkane in the presence of a base.

This reaction occurs at high temperature.

Alkane formed has a same number of carbon as aldehyde and ketone.

If acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction in the presence of base and heat, then ethane is formed. Nitrogen is formed as a byproduct.

Here, acetaldehyde is reduced to form ethane.

So, acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine with subsequent addition of a base and heat. In this reaction, the aldehyde is reduced, resulting in alkane product.
