...

Question 3

What is the counterion to methoxide in the following compound? NaOMe

Accepted Answer

In NaOMe, Na⁺ is the counterion to methoxide (OMe^-). Methoxide is the anion, and sodium (Na⁺) is the cation that balances the charge.

Question 4

Could ammonia (NH₃)deprotonate CH₄?

Accepted Answer

Ammonia (NH₃) is a weak base and cannot deprotonate methane (CH₄), which has very strong C-H bonds and is not acidic.

Question 5

What is a cation?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is a cation?...

Question 6

Could the amide anion (^-NH₂)deprotonate CH₄?

Accepted Answer

The amide anion is not strong enough to deprotonate methane (CH4) because methane has a very high pKa (~50), indicating that it is a very weak acid.

Question 9

Can this base exist in water?

Accepted Answer

As the code given is a combination of numbers and letters, it is not clear what the base refers to. Therefore, it is impossible to determine if it can exist in water or not.

Question 10

Can this base exist in water?

Accepted Answer

There is no information that suggests the base cannot exist in water.

Question 11

Can this base exist in hexane?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Can this base exist in hexane? 
...

Question 12

Can this base exist in water?

Accepted Answer

Without any context or information about the base, it is impossible to determine whether it can or cannot exist in water.

Question 13

Could water protonate the following compound?

Accepted Answer

The given compound is already protonated with a positive charge on the nitrogen atom. Therefore, water cannot protonate this compound as it cannot accept another proton.

Question 14

Could hydroxide deprotonate CH₄?

Accepted Answer

CH₄ does not have any acidic hydrogens that can be deprotonated by hydroxide. Therefore, hydroxide cannot deprotonate CH₄.

Question 15

Could the amide anion (^-NH₂)deprotonate the following compound?

Accepted Answer
