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.

Diagram Z
Explanation:
A cell placed into a hypotonic solution will swell and expand until it eventually burst through a process known as cytolysis.
Answer:
3.329 g
Explanation:
First you need to determine the molar mass of H2S which is 34.1 g/mol.
With that we know that to find the moles of H2S we just divide the mass of sample with the molar mass.
3.54 g / 34.1 g/mol = 0.103812317 mol of H2S
This means that there is also 0.103812317 mol of sulfur since there is 1 mole of sulfur per 1 mole of H2S.
The molar mass of sulfur is 32.065 g/mol and to find the mass of sulfur you need to multiply the molar mass with the moles of the compound.
0.103812317 mol * 32.065 g/mol = 3.329 g of sulfur
Let me know if you get something else or if something is unclear in the comments so that we can figure it out.
Answer:
#2, 4, & 5
Explanation:
In number 1 there are unequal Cu's
In number 3 there are unequal Cl's
Answer:
pH = 10.4
Explanation:
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log(4.1 x 10⁻¹¹) = -(-10.4) = 10.4
