Capitolo 3, Problema 7b
Sodium amide (NaNH₂) dissociates to give a sodium cation (Na+) and amide ion (NH2–) a very strong base. In the following three equations, identify which definition of base is being exemplified.
(b) 
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Analyze the chemical equation provided. Sodium amide (NaNH₂) reacts with water (H₂O) to produce hydroxide ion (OH⁻), sodium ion (Na⁺), and ammonia (NH₃).
Step 2: Recognize the role of NaNH₂ in the reaction. The amide ion (NH₂⁻) acts as a base by accepting a proton (H⁺) from water, forming NH₃.
Step 3: Identify the definition of a base being exemplified. According to the Brønsted-Lowry definition, a base is a substance that accepts a proton. Here, NH₂⁻ accepts a proton from H₂O, demonstrating the Brønsted-Lowry base behavior.
Step 4: Note the products formed. The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) is left behind after water donates a proton, and ammonia (NH₃) is formed as a result of NH₂⁻ accepting the proton.
Step 5: Conclude that the reaction exemplifies the Brønsted-Lowry definition of a base, as the amide ion (NH₂⁻) acts as a proton acceptor.

Concetti chiave
Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Brønsted-Lowry Base
A Brønsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that can accept protons (H⁺ ions) in a chemical reaction. This concept emphasizes the role of bases in proton transfer processes, distinguishing them from other definitions that may focus solely on hydroxide ion production. In the context of sodium amide, the amide ion (NH₂⁻) acts as a Brønsted-Lowry base by accepting protons from acids.

Lewis Base
A Lewis base is defined as an electron pair donor in a chemical reaction. This definition broadens the concept of basicity beyond proton acceptance to include any species that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond. Sodium amide, through its amide ion, can act as a Lewis base by donating its lone pair of electrons to electrophiles.

Strong Base
A strong base is a substance that completely dissociates in solution to produce hydroxide ions or other strong basic species. Sodium amide is classified as a strong base because it dissociates fully in water to yield sodium cations and amide ions, which are highly reactive and capable of deprotonating weak acids, thus demonstrating strong basic behavior.
