7. Between CH3CH2CH2NH2 and (CH3)3N, which has higher boiling point and why?
Ans. CH3CH2CH2NH2 has higher boiling point. CH3CH2CH2NH2 has more H atoms on N
to form intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
8. Give reason: i) Amines have lower boiling point than alcohol of same molar mass.
ii) Amines are insoluble in water.
Ans. i) Nitrogen in amines is less electronegative than oxygen in alcohol. Hence amines do
not form H-bonds among them.
ii) Amines do not form H bonds with water.
9. Amines are both Bronsted base and Lewis base. How?
Ans. Amines can accept H+, hence Bronsted bases. Amines can donate a pair of electrons
hence Lewis bases.

10. Give reason: aniline is a weaker base than ammonia but methanamine is a stronger
base than ammonia.
Ans. Aniline is weaker base because the pair of electron on nitrogen gets delocalized
towards benzene ring. Methanamine is stronger base, because CH3 group is electron
releasing group and makes pair of electrons on nitrogen more available for protonation.
11. Arrange 1, 2, 3methylamines in decreasing order of their base strength i) in gaseous
phase ii) in aqueous medium.
Ans. i) (CH3)3N > (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2

Ans. Hinsbergs reagent. 2 amine.
22. How does Hinsbergs reagent help to distinguish 1 amine and a 2 amine? Explain.
Ans. The given amine is treated with Hinsbergs reagent. If the product formed is soluble in
an alkali, the amine is 1. If the product formed is insoluble in an alkali, the amine is 2.
23. Complete the following equations:

Ans.

24. What is the significance of acetylation of aniline before nitrating it?


Ans. When aniline is treated with concentrated HNO3, much of the aniline gets oxidized,
aniline gets protonated and the major product is meta-nitroaniline. Hence to avoid all
this aniline is acetylated. Acetylated aniline, avoids oxidation of aniline and controlled
nitration yields p-nitro aniline as the major product.
25. Give reasons: i) aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction. ii) aniline with
concentrated HNO3 forms meta nitro compound in significant amounts.
Ans. i) Aniline reacts with AlCl3 to form a salt, which makes nitrogen of aniline to get a
positive charge, which becomes a strongly deactivating group.
ii) Aniline with conc. HNO3 forms anilinium ion which is meta directing.
