Question

Hydride of certain non-metallic element X is amphoteric in nature. It also reacts with sodium hydride as well with metallic sodium to liberate dihydrogen gas. The element X can be (A) Nitrogen (B) Carbon (C) Oxygen (D) Sulphur

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Here X is oxygen and Hydride of 'O' is H2O which is amphoteric in nature. 2H2O+2NaH arrow 2NaOH+2H2 2H2O+2Na arrow 2NaOH+H2

Q. Hydride of certain non-metallic element X is amphoteric in nature. It also reacts with sodium hydride as well with metallic sodium to liberate dihydrogen gas. The element X can be

Nitrogen

Carbon

Oxygen

Sulphur

Here X is oxygen and Hydride of 'O' is $H_{2} O$ which is amphoteric in nature.

$2 H_{2} O + 2 N a H \to 2 N a O H + 2 H_{2}$

$2 H_{2} O + 2 N a \to 2 N a O H + H_{2}$

Here X is oxygen and Hydride of 'O' is H2​O which is amphoteric in nature. 2H2​O+2NaH→2NaOH+2H2​ 2H2​O+2Na→2NaOH+H2​

Here X is oxygen and Hydride of 'O' is $H_{2} O$ which is amphoteric in nature.

$2 H_{2} O + 2 N a H \to 2 N a O H + 2 H_{2}$

$2 H_{2} O + 2 N a \to 2 N a O H + H_{2}$
