is neutral to litmus.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
Ethylamine is a primary amine with availability of one lone pair on nitrogen atom, hence it is basic to litmus.
Amines are Lewis acids.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
Lewis base is an electron-pair donor and Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.
Hence, amines are Lewis bases.
Amides are the oxidation products of nitriles (cyanides).
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
Nitriles can be converted to amides. This reaction can be acid or base catalyzed. In the case of acid catalysis the nitrile becomes protonated. Protonation increases the electrophilicity of the nitrile so that it will accept water, a poor nucleophile.
Hence, amides are the oxidation product of nitriles.

Explanation
The nitrile reacts with the lithium tetrahydridoaluminate in solution in ethoxyethane (diethyl ether, or just "ether") followed by treatment of the product of that reaction with dilute acid. Overall, the carbon-nitrogen triple bond is reduced to give a primary amine. Primary amines contain the -NH2 group.

Explanation
Greater is the stability of the substituted ammonium cation, stronger should be the corresponding amine as a base. Thus, the order of the basicity of aliphatic amines should be primary > secondary > tertiary, which is opposite to the inductive effect based order. Secondly, when the alkyl group is small, like
C
H
3
group, there is no steric hindrance to H-bonding. In case the alkyl group is bigger than methyl group, there will be steric hindrance to H-bonding. Therefore, the change of nature of the alkyl group, e.g., from -
C
H
3
to
C
2
H
5
results in change of the order of basic strength. Thus, there is a subtle interplay of the inductive effect, solvation effect and steric hinderance of the alkyl group which decides the basic strength of alkyl amines in the aqueous state.

Explanation
The observed order in the case of lower members is found to be as secondary > primary > tertiary. This anomalous behavior of tertiary amines is due to steric factors i.e. crowding of alkyl groups cover nitrogen atom from all sides and thus makes it unable for protonation. Thus the relative strength is in order CH3NH2<(CH3)2NH>(CH3)3N
