Best Answer

A compound of hydrogen with another, more electropositive element. Typically, the elements in Group 1 or Group 2 of the Periodic Table will form hydrides when combined with H (for instance, CaH2). Usually H forms a positive ion, H+, but when combining with certain very electropositive elements (in other words, elements that are NOT very electronegative), it forms a negative ion, H-, because H is more electronegative than many of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals. Since H isn't very electronegative compared to most elements, it is much more often H+ than H-.

an anhydride bond is a bond formed between two phosphoric acid molecules where an OH group from each molecule reacts to form an O linkage between the two molecules and a water molecule. The P=O bond remains on both sides of the anhydride bond.

What is the anhydride of nitric acid?

Nitric acid does not form the anhydride but dinitrogen penta oxide is theoretical anhydride of nitric acid.2HNO3 = N2O5 + H2O==========No. From the Wikipedia article on nitrogen pentoxide:N2O5 was first reported by Deville in 1840, who prepared it by treating AgNO3 with Cl2.Therefore, nitrogen pentoxide is the anhydride of nitric acid.

Is phthalic anhydride is soluble in methanol?

Phthalic anhydride is slightly soluble in methanol. But beware! In this case, phthalic anhydride will actually react with its solvent. This is called estrification of the anhydride. Methanol will break the ring of Phthalic anhydride and make an ester. C6H4(CO)2O + CH3OH --> C6H4(CO2H)(CO2CH3) Similarly, you might THINK Phthalic anhydride is soluble in water, but it actually reacts with water to make phthalic acid. If you want to make a true solution of phthalic anhydride, I would recommend acetone, or methylethyl ketone.
