Discuss the following observations:

(a) Zinc dissolves in a solution of sodium amide in liquid NH3 with liberation of H2; careful addition of ammonium iodide to the resulting solution produces a white precipitate which dissolves if an excess of ammonium iodide is added.


(b) Addition of K to H20 results in a vigorous reaction; addition of K to liquid NH3 gives a bright blue solution, which over a period of time liberates H2.
