Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Amines have higher boiling points than those of alkanes of similar molar mass because they can engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding , strong dipole-dipole attraction, and van der waals force of attraction between them whereas an alkane has only van der waals force of attraction between them.
