  2. Birch reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_reduction

    The Birch reduction is an organic reaction that is used to convert arenes to 1,4-cyclohexadienes.The reaction is named after the Australian chemist Arthur Birch and involves the organic reduction of aromatic rings in an amine solvent (traditionally liquid ammonia) with an alkali metal (traditionally sodium) and a proton source (traditionally an alcohol).

  3. Sodium amide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_amide

    Sodium amide can be prepared by the reaction of sodium with ammonia gas, [3] but it is usually prepared by the reaction in liquid ammonia using iron(III) nitrate as a catalyst. The reaction is fastest at the boiling point of the ammonia, c. −33 °C. An electride, [Na(NH 3) 6] + e −, is formed as a reaction intermediate. [4] 2 Na + 2 NH 3 ...

    2 [Na(NH 3) 6] + e − → H 2 + 2 NaNH 2 + 10 NH 3. Electride salts can be isolated by the addition of macrocyclic ligands such as crown ether and cryptands to solutions containing solvated electrons. These ligands strongly bind the cations and prevent their re-reduction by the electron. [Na(NH 3) 6] + e − + cryptand → [Na(cryptand)] + e ...

    In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide according to the following equilibrium: . NH 3 + H 2 O ⇌ NH + 4 + OH −.. In a 1 M ammonia solution, about 0.42% of the ammonia is converted to ammonium, equivalent to pH = 11.63 because [NH +

    All other proposed formation reactions have rate constants of between two and 13 orders of magnitude smaller, making their contribution to the abundance of ammonia relatively insignificant. [181] As an example of the minor contribution other formation reactions play, the reaction: H 2 + NH 2 → NH 3 + H. has a rate constant of 2.2 × 10 −15.

  8. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

    The equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 °C is 1.8 x 10 −5, [12] such that the extent of reaction or degree of ionization is quite small. Lewis bases A Lewis base or electron-pair donor is a molecule with one or more high-energy lone pairs of electrons which can be shared with a low-energy vacant orbital in an acceptor molecule to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_design

    Some common video game design subdisciplines are world design, level design, system design, content design, and user interface design. Within the video game industry, video game design is usually just referred to as "game design", which is a more general term elsewhere. The video game designer is like the director of a film; the designer is the ...
