Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium

amide is polar and methanol is nonpolar. Sodium amide undergoes an acid-base reaction with methanol. There would be no ion-dipole attractive forces between the two compounds.

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

kari74 [83]

Answer:

10.5 kl

Explanation:

1.05*10^7ml\\=\frac{1.05*10^7}{10^3}l\ [1 ml= 1/1000 l]\\=1.05*10^4\\=10500 l\\=\frac{10500}{1000} l\ [1l=1/1000kl]\\=10.5 kl

Will Florine react? will it combine with other elements?
Alexxx [7]

Fluorine is the most active chemical element, reacting with virtually every element. It even reacts with the noble gases at high temperatures and pressures. The noble gases, or Group 18 (VIIIA), also known as the inert gases, generally do not react with other elements.

A chemist prepares a solution of mercury(I) chloride Hg2Cl2 by measuring out
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1.26 × 10^-8 M

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of moles of mercury (i) chloride as 0.000126 μmol

Volume is 100 mL

We are required to calculate the concentration of the solution.

We need to know that;

Concentration is also known as molarity is given by;

Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume

Number of moles = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles

Volume = 0.01 L

Therefore;

Concentration = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles ÷ 0.01 L

                       = 1.26 × 10^-8 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.26 × 10^-8 M
