Amines are weak bases. Table 10.2 in the course textbook provides a list of pKb values for several amines. The pK values for three amines and their structures are shown below. Explain why increased substitution on nitrogen results in an increase of the pKb value. H3C-NH2 PK = 3.36 H3C N-H pKb = 3.27 H₂C' H3C N-CH3 PK = 4.19 H₂C

According to the Evan's pKa table, phenol has a pKa of 9.95. p-Nitro and m-nitrophenol have pKas of 7.14 and 8.35 respectively. Using resonance structures, explain the observed trends in the acidity of these molecules.
What is the predominant form of cyclohexylamine at pH 9.5? Approximately what fraction is in this form?
Complete the following acid-base reactions and predict the direction of equilibrium (to the right or to the left) for each. Justify your prediction by citing values of pKa for the stronger and weaker acid in each equilibrium. For values of acid ionization constants, consult Table 23.2 (Acid Strengths, pKa, of the Conjugate Acids of Selected Amines) and Appendix 2 (Acid Ionization Constants for the Major Classes of Organic Acids). Where no ionization constants are given, make the best estimate from the information given in the reference tables and sections.

Experimental observations show that thiocyanate (SCN- ), the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid (pKa = 1.1 at 25 °C), is quite soluble in neutral water at pH > 2. In the space provided below, explain this experimental observation. That is, why does SCN– readily dissolve in water when the pH > 2?
use your knowledge of acid-base extraction to come up with a plan to separate the following compounds from each other. Your plan should include specific solvents or reagents to be used and result in 4 isolated solids in the end. p-anisidine pyrene salicylic acid: 2,3-xylenol *Here is an hint and example: p=Anisidine is an amine, xylenol is a phenol, and salicylic acid has COOH and phenol groups. Always start with identifying the functional groups and you either add acids or bases to react then after you get your layer, you extract and normally you will get precipitation at the bottom and you collect it by vacuum iteration, solate the amine by extracting with HCl. The ammonium salt will be in the aqueous layer. Neutralize it by adding base (NaOH) until the solution is basic. Collect the amine(which we expect to precipitate) by vacuum filtration.
