Introduction | sodium hydride (sodium hydrogen for short) belongs to ionic crystals, salt-like compounds, in which hydrogen is a negative monovalent ion. When heated unstable, not to be melted or decomposed, sodium hydride and water hydrolysis reaction to generate sodium hydroxide and release hydrogen. |
properties | pure sodium hydride is silver needle-like crystals, and the products of sodium hydride on the market are generally fine crystalline gray powder, dispersed in oil at a ratio of 25% to 50%. The relative density was 0.92. Sodium hydride crystal is a rock salt type structure (lattice constant a = 0.488nm), and like lithium hydride, hydrogen exists as an anion in the ionic crystal. The heat of formation is 69.5kJ · mol-1, which is decomposed into metallic sodium and hydrogen at 800 ℃. Sodium hydride can react vigorously with water and lower alcohols, causing combustion or explosion. Automatic ignition in moist air. Soluble in molten sodium hydroxide, insoluble in liquid ammonia, benzene, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride. At moderate temperatures, sodium hydride reacts with liquid ammonia to form sodium amino acid. |
preparation | Although sodium hydride can be prepared by reacting hydrogen directly with sodium metal at high temperature, however, in the industry, the sodium hydride is prepared by using a mineral oil such as kerosene, adding a dispersant such as anthracene, suspending the sodium metal therein, and reacting with high-pressure hydrogen gas. The product is washed with hexane, dried in a stream of nitrogen, stored sealed in an inert gas, or treated intact in paraffin oil. |
quenching method | sodium hydride is generally 60% (stored in oil), if you need to remove oil, you can wash with n-hexane, then pour out the n-hexane (be sure to avoid drying out). In general, it is not necessary to wash too many times, unless the oil affects the reaction (e. G., the system is too viscous, and the oil is combined with the generation of bubbles, and the material is easy to be washed. The post-treatment is that if the amount is not large, it can be directly quenched with water. If the amount is large, the water is slowly dropped. This was suspended in dry tetrahydrofuran and ethanol or isopropanol was added slowly with stirring until no more hydrogen was evolved and the mixture was clear. |
Related chemical reaction | sodium hydride is a strong reducing agent, such as titanium tetrachloride can be reduced to metal titanium at 400 ℃: tiCl4 = = 4NaH Ti 4NaCl 2H2. decomposition occurs when heated to 425 °c under normal pressure. And the generation of hydrogen gas. With water can produce a strong reaction, and even a fire, and the formation of sodium hydroxide and the release of hydrogen. Reaction with liquid ammonia to form an amine salt (sodium amino acid) and evolution of hydrogen gas. NaH NH3 --(H2)→ NaNH2 H2. sodium hydride also reacts with halogens, sulfur vapors, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures. The reduction is very strong, and the metal can be released from the metal oxide and chloride. TiCl4 4NaH → Ti NaCl 2H2. diborane can be formed by the reaction of sodium hydride with boron trifluoride. 2BF3 6NaH → B2H6 6NaF. sodium hydride is stable below 230 ° C. In dry air, above which it burns into sodium oxide. If trace amounts of sodium are present, fires are likely to occur even at low temperatures. In case of fire, water and organic fire extinguishing agents must not be used. |
Application | sodium hydride (sodium hydrogen) is mainly used as a reducing agent for metal chloride, a reducing agent for organic synthesis, a hydrogenation agent, the condensing agent, when used as a reducing agent, is mostly suspended in an oil, preferably rinsed with a large amount of water when touched on the skin. sodium hydride (sodium hydrogen) can be used in condensation and alkylation reactions. And can be used for the polymerization catalyst manufacturing pharmaceutical synthesis and perfume industry, manufacturing borohydride, metal surface rust remover, reducing agent, condensing agent, drying agent and the reaction reagent of the Clesson. used as condensing agent, alkylating agent and reducing agent, etc. It is an important reducing agent in pharmacy, perfume and dye, and can also be used as drying agent, alkylating agent |
