Question
A solution of sodium metal in liquid ammonia is srongly reducing due to the presence of :
Options
A.sodium atoms
B.sodium hydride
C.sodium amide amide
D.solvated electrons
Solution
Na ⇋ Na+ + e- (in liq. NH3)
e- + xNH3 → [e(NH2)x]-
ammoniated electron
EoR.P = - 1.89V(at - 34oC)
Na + (x + y)NH3 → [Na(NH3)x]+ + [e(NH3)y]-
ammoniated cation ammoniated electron
e- + xNH3 → [e(NH2)x]-
ammoniated electron
EoR.P = - 1.89V(at - 34oC)
Na + (x + y)NH3 → [Na(NH3)x]+ + [e(NH3)y]-
ammoniated cation ammoniated electron
