Chapter 16, Problem 16.16P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To check whether the statement “Hydrogen bonding between secondary amines is stronger than that between secondary alcohols” is true or false.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bonding exists between the molecules of same compound. This influences various factors such as boiling point, melting point etc.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To check whether the statement “Primary and secondary amines generally have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons with comparable carbon skeletons” is true or false.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bonding exists between the molecules of same compound. This influences various factors such as boiling point, melting point etc.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

To check whether the statement “The boiling points of amines increase as the molecular weight of the amine increases” is true or false.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bonding exists between the molecules of same compound. This influences various factors such as boiling point, melting point etc.
