And substances that can do that are considered superbases.

可以做到这一点的物质被认为是超级碱。

But already we have plenty of uses for other superbases.

但是我们已经有很多其他超级基地的用途。

Just like with super-strong acids, there’s a whole class of bases that are especially strong, called superbases.

就像超强酸一样，有一整类特别强的碱，称为超级碱。

Since superbases quickly react with water, sodium hydride can be used as a drying agent, to dry chemicals in the lab.

由于超级碱与水迅速反应，氢化钠可用作干燥剂， 用于干燥实验室中的化学品。

So even though superbases are great at ripping some molecules apart, you can use that strength to put other molecules together.

因此，即使超碱基擅长将一些分子撕裂，你也可以利用这种力量将其他分子放在一起。
