What is the equation for these two acid-base reactions when the following compounds or solutions are mixed? If no appreciable acid-base reaction would occur, you should indicate this. I could use a little guidance in these. a) NaH is added to CH3OH.- For this one would the electrons transfer from the oxygen atom to the H on NaH making CH3OH2 and Na+? b) NaNH2 is added to CH3CH2OH- For this one, would the electrons transfer from the oxygen atom to a hydrogen atom on NaNH2 yielding ChCH2OH2 and NaNH?c) Gaseous NH3 is added to ethyllithium in hexane- Not sure about this one... the whole "ethyllithium in hexane" is throwing me offd) NH4Cl is added to sodium amine in liquid ammonia- Same thing... not sure, the whole "sodium amine in liquid ammonia" is throwing me off. Do I need to do sodium amine + ammonia(l) first and use that product to react with NH4Cl?e) (CH3)3CONa is added to H2OWould the electrons flow from the oxygen atom on H2O to the oxygen on (CH3)3CONa? Yielding OH- and (CH3)3COHNa?f) NaOH is added to (CH3)3COHWould the electrons flow from oxygen on NaOH to (CH3)3COH? Yielding (CH3)3COH2 and NaO?
Ok so is it basically the cation replacing a proton? At least that's what I'm getting at. For C, NH3 + Li+ C2H5 --> LiNH2 + C2H6 (benzene). Is this correct?For D, NH4Cl + NaNH2 --> Would this reaction not occur? For F, why would that reaction not happen?wouldn't it be NaOH + (CH3)3COH --> (CH3)3CONa + H2O?
