The analysis of structure of water and the physical and chemical consequences of the structure provided an understanding of the solubility of polar and non-polar substances in water and the nature of acids and bases. Apply the insights gained from this analysis to chemistry in the solvent liquid ammonia. Ammonia, NH₃, is a non-planar polar molecule which consists of three nitrogen-hydrogen single bonds and one lone pair of electrons.

1) Gasoline whose main constituents have the molecular formula C₈H₁₄ does not readily dissolve in liquid ammonia whereas antifreeze, HOCH₂CH₂OH, does. Describe.

2) describe the structure of the molecular species formed when crystalline sodium bromide dissolves in liquid ammonia.

3) Nitric acid, HNO₃, is a very strong acid and ionizes when it is dissolved in liquid ammonia. prepare a balanced, net ionic equation for the ionization reaction in ammonia.

4) Give the name and formula of a compound which is a strong base in liquid ammonia. Describe why the compound is a base.

5) Would soap be efficient to dissolve greasy substances in liquid ammonia? Describe.
