![### Identifying Solvents as Protic or Aprotic
In this activity, you are asked to classify various solvents as either protic or aprotic. Protic solvents are those that have a hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen (such as in alcohols and water) or a nitrogen (such as in amines). Aprotic solvents do not have a hydrogen atom bound in this way.
Here is the list of solvents given:
1. **N-ethylethanamine (diethylamine)**
2. **Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)**
3. **Methanol**
4. **Tetrahydrofuran (THF)**
5. **Ethoxyethane (diethyl ether)**
Each solvent should be identified as either protic or aprotic:
- **N-ethylethanamine (diethylamine)**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Methanol**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Tetrahydrofuran (THF)**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Ethoxyethane (diethyl ether)**: [Dropdown menu]
#### Key:
1. **Protic**: Solvents that can form hydrogen bonds and typically contain -OH or -NH groups.
2. **Aprotic**: Solvents that do not have hydrogen atoms that can form hydrogen bonds.
Use the dropdown menus to select whether each solvent is protic or aprotic. Here are some general guidelines:
- **Protic Solvents** include anything with a \( -OH \) group (like alcohol) or \( -NH \) group (like amine).
- **Aprotic Solvents** lack these groups and cannot form hydrogen bonds with themselves. These include solvents like dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Febef2a95-d468-4be7-b2f1-95e4c16dc461%2Fd4b1bdab-e230-4517-aeea-a20cc416739b%2Fkny3pwe_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
