Answer 1

Answer-

A) CH₃Li + CH₃CH₂OH -----> CH₄ + CH₃CH₂OLi   -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

B) HC≡CH + NaOH -----> HC≡CNa + H₂O   -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

C) HC≡CNa + H₂O -----> HC≡CH + NaOH   -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

D) CH₃OH + NaH -----> CH₃ONa + H₂    -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

E) CH₃CO₂H + CH₃ONa -----> CH₃CO₂Na + CH₃OH    -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

F) CH₃Li + CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂ -----> CH₄ + CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂NHLi    -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

G) CH₃C≡CH + NaOCH₃ -----> HC≡CNa + CH₃OH -In this reaction carbon(C) and hydrogen(H) atoms are missing in the obtained product,hence reaction is not possible.

H) CH₃OH + NaNH₂ -----> CH₃ONa + NH₃     -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

I) H₂C=CH₂ + NaOH -----> H₂C=CHNa + H₂O    -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.

J) CH₃C≡CNa + H₂O -----> CH₃C≡CH + NaOH    -Reaction is balanced,it will occur.
