The hydride ion H^(-) is a stronger base...

The hydride ion `H^(-)` is a stronger base than its hydroxide ion `OH^(-)`. Which of the following reactions will occurs if sodium hydride (NaH) is dissolved in water ?

A

`H^(-)(aq)+H_(2)OtoH_(3)O^(-)(aq)`

B

`H^(-)(aq)+H_(2)O(l)toOH^(-)(aq)+H_(2)(g)`

C

`H^(-)(aq)+H_(2)OC(l)to` No reaction

D

None of these.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In this reaction `H^(-)` accepts `H^(+)` and as such acts as a base, `H_(2)O` gives `H^(+)` and as such acts as an acid.
