Question

Why we can say Ionic hydrides are used as dehydrating agents??

Answer 1

❤HEYAA CURIOUS❤

the answer is:

⭐iBecause they react irreversibly with water.......

⭐Explanation:

The hydride that is commonly used is calcium hydride.......

CaH2

, which is a dry powder, and fairly cheap, and reacts with water according to the following equation......

CaH2(s)+2H2O(l)–––>Ca(OH)2(s)+2H2(g)

Sodium hydride, and lithium aluminum hydride,LiAlH4 , can also be used in this manner; tho you do exercise caution with respect to the solvent that you want to dry.

HOPE THIS HELPS IF SO PLS MARK AS BRAINLIEST
