(a)
Interpretation:
In aqueous solution, propanamide exhibit basic behavior or not has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Amides have a carbonyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom. The carbonyl carbon atom pulls the lone pair of electrons present on the nitrogen strongly. Hence, the nitrogen atom cannot act as a proton acceptor. Amides are not basic in nature.
(b)
Interpretation:
In aqueous solution, 1-propanamine exhibit basic behavior or not has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Amines are a class of organic compounds. They are derivatives of ammonia. Similar to the nitrogen atom in ammonia, the amine nitrogen also has a lone pair of electrons on it. This means that amines can act as proton acceptors. When an amine is added to water a proton is transferred to the nitrogen atom. The resulting solution is a basic solution. This contains ammonium ions and hydroxide ions.

- Ester compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters. The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and fragrance industry. Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely responsible for these scents. The structural formulas for these ester compounds are shown here: Alcohols for Air Freshener Project Molar mass Density Cost, per (g/mL) Reagent (g/mol) 1.00 L methanol 32.04 0.79 $46.20 ethanol 46.07 0.79 $112.00 1-propanol 60.10 0.80 $72.70 1-butanol 74.12 0.81 $72.60 Use the structural formulas of the alcohols and…arrow_forwardWrite equations for the reactions of the following pairs of reactantswith the structure of the compounds formed.* 2-methylpropanamine and HNO2.* Butanamine and CH3COCI.* 3-methyl-pentanamine and HCl .arrow_forwardLSD (a hallucinogen) and codeine (a narcotic) are structurally more complex derivatives of 2-phenylethanamine.
