Do
Whether amines are acidic, neutral, or basic.
Answer to Problem 14RQ
The amines are basic.
Explanation of Solution
The acids can donate a hydrogen ion while the bases can accept it.
The amines contain a nitrogen atom. The nitrogen possesses one lone pair of electrons on it. The lone pair of electrons allows the nitrogen to accept a hydrogen ion. Since amine can accept one hydrogen/proton. Thus, it contains the characteristics of base.
Thus, the amines are basic in nature.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the amines are basic.
