How can saline hydrides remove traces of water from organic compounds?
Solution:
Saline hydrides such as NaH release H – ions which act as strong Bronsted base whereas H2O is a weak Bronsted acid. They combine with water to liberate hydrogen gas.
N a H + H 2 O → NaOH + H 2
As a result, these hydrides can be used to remove traces of water from organic compounds.
