Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hydride ion (H^-) is a stronger base than the hydroxide ion (OH^-), meaning it is more likely to donate an electron pair. When H^- reacts with water (H_2O), it donates an electron to a proton in water, forming hydrogen gas (H_2) and hydroxide ion (OH^-). Therefore, the products are OH^- (aq) and H_2(g).
