Sodium hydride from sodium and hydrochloric acid

[chloe100]

i know that sodium react with hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride and(according to what i readed) free hydrogen. but i also readed in wikipedia that sodium hydride is made by the direct reaction of liquid sodium with hydrogen. so sodium hydride can be formed in good proportion by passing hydrochloride gas into liquid sodium?, and what about hydrochloride salts? sodium can also react with the hydrochloride to form sodium hydride and sodium chloride?.

and another question, dose sodium hydride is pyrophoric? dose sodium hydride can be extracted from that reaction without inert atmosphere?

and what about hydrochloride salts?

Same question: IF the number of moles of sodium exceeds the number of moles of HCl being reacted, yes.

 

[chloe100]

so it reacts with both HCl gas and salts?. and what about the reaction itself? it will produce enough heat to burn the sodium hydride? i readed in wiki that this substance is extremely flammable.

salts?

Only if the free energy of formation of NaCl is greater than that of the chloride salt being reacted.

the reaction itself?

Which reaction? The NaH formation?

enough heat to burn the sodium hydride?

If you're forming NaH, the reaction forming it will not "burn" it. If you do this in the presence of oxygen, all you form is Na₂O and water.

i meant to the hydrochloride salt, does sodium metal can react with some hydrochloride salts to form NaH?. if so it can work with the presence of oxygen?

the hydrochloride salt

"Hydrochloride salt" is an archaic (outdated, obsolete, useless, meaningless) term for describing chloride salts formed with organic bases, usually containing nitrogen, but there are others.

with the presence of oxygen?

No.

No.

so basicaly in the presence of oxygen sodium metal will react with this kind of salt(just called "chloride"?) to form sodium chloride and sodium oxide and water(sodium hydroxide at the end right?) and without oxygen it will form sodium chloride and sodium hydride?.

 

[Bystander]

without oxygen it will form sodium chloride and sodium hydride?.

Yes, so long as there is an excess of sodium metal beyond what's consumed forming the chloride.
