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

Elodia [21]

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

Identify the following changes as physical or chemical. A loaf of risen but unbaked bread. Photo by Elinor D Bread dough rising:

sergey [27]

The answers include:

A loaf of risen but unbaked bread - chemical change.
Photo by Elinor D - chemical change.
Bread dough rising - chemical change.

<h3>What is a Chemical change?</h3>

This involves the formation of a new products from substances. In this scenario, a rising bread contains alcohol which evaporates.

Photographs also fall under this category and is therefore an irreversible chemical change.

Dinitrogen pentoxide gas is formed by the reaction of nitrogen trioxide gas and nitrogen dioxide gas balanced equation

leonid [27]

Answer:

Balanced chemical equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Balanced chemical equation:

NO₂ + NO₃ → N₂O₅

Nitrogen trioxide gas combine with nitrogen dioxide gas and form nitrogen pentoxide.

This is the simple synthesis reaction in which two substance combine to form a new substance.

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

General chemical equation:

A + B → AB

A and B are reactants that combine to form AB product.

A student is given the question: "what is the mass of a gold bar that is 7.379 × 10–4 m3 in volume? the density of gold is 19.3

IRINA_888 [86]

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

With the same mass, the volume of objects that have a high density will be smaller than type

The unit of density can be expressed in g / cm3 or kg / m3

Density formula:

$\large{\boxed{{\bold{\rho~=~\frac{m}{V}}}}$

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

A common example is the water density of 1 gr / cm3

The mass itself is often equated with weight, even though it is different. Mass is the amount of matter in the matter while weight is related to the gravitational force

<em>Known variable</em>

volume gold bar 7.379 × 10⁻⁴ m³

a density of 19.3 g/cm³

<em>Asked</em>

the mass of a gold bar

<em>Answer</em>

volume is known to be 7.379 × 10⁻⁴ m³, then we change it first to units of cm³ adjusting to units of density

7.379 × 10⁻⁴ m³ = 7.379 × 10² cm³

then:

mass = volume x density

mass = 7.379 × 10² cm³ x 19.3 g/cm³

mass = 1.424 x 10⁴ gram
