Chapter 15, Problem 45P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

On dissolving ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}$ in the same container of water and pH of the solution is lowered to 2.0 by adding $\text{HCl}$, whether the structures of these compound gets effected or not and the formula of the species presents in solution at pH 2.0 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ability of a given substance to dissolve in a given solvent is known as solubility. It is a chemical property.
