Chapter 17, Problem 17.124EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In aqueous solution, methylethylamine exhibit basic behavior or not has to be indicated.

Concept Introduction:

Amines are a class of organic compounds.  They are derivatives of ammonia.  Similar to the nitrogen atom in ammonia, the amine nitrogen also has a lone pair of electrons on it.  This means that amines can act as proton acceptors.  When an amine is added to water a proton is transferred to the nitrogen atom.  The resulting solution is a basic solution.  This contains ammonium ions and hydroxide ions.

Amides have a carbonyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom.  The carbonyl carbon atom pulls the lone pair of electrons present on the nitrogen strongly.  Hence, the nitrogen atom cannot act as a proton acceptor.  Amides are not basic in nature.

In aqueous solution, butanamide exhibit basic behavior or not has to be indicated.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The hydrolysis of an amide in acidic conditions forms       A. a carboxylate salt and an alcohol       B. a carboxylate salt and an amine       C. an alcohol and an amine salt (an ammonium ion)       D. a carboxylic acid and an amine salt (an ammonium ion)
why Acetanilide at room temperature is less soluble?
When comparing the structures of aspirin and acetaminophen, why can acetaminophen exist in a liquid state (i.e. childrens drinkable tylenol) and aspirin cannot? Does it have to do with the carboxylic acid? The question says that liquid aspirin cannot be made. Why would that be?
