The Attempt at a Solution
For 2-aminobutane, four solubility tests were done with the following solvents:
NaOH
NaHCO3
HCl
H2O
It was soluble in all of them. Is this correct? Is it soluble in H2O and NaOH because of its low molecular weight?
Are these the correct equations for aminobutane’s results?
CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3 + HCl ->
_________H
_________|
______H-N-H
________|
CH3CH2CHCH3 + Cl-
where N is +.
For NaOH,
CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3 + NaOH -> ??
I’m unsure at exactly how to express the solubility in an equation.
In H2O,
CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3 + H2O ->
_________H
_________|
______H-N-H
_________| (+ for N)
CH3CH2CHCH3 + OH- ??
In NaHCO3,
CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3 + NaHCO3 -> ?
Again, I’m confused at expressing the experienced solubility.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
