Chapter 18.6, Problem 18.12P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product formed when the following ammonium salt is treated with $\text{NaOH}$ to be drawn.

  ${[{{\text{(CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{)}}_{\text{3}}\text{NH}]}^{+}{\text{Br}}^{-}$

Concept Introduction:

• Amines are an organic compound that is derived from ammonia by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms of ammonia by the alkyl groups.
• The ammonium ion has hydrogen atoms with a small positive charge. Therefore, the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl ion attacks the hydrogen atom. Then one N-H bond breaks and is bonded to hydroxyl ion to form a water molecule. Thus, the ammonium ion turns into the corresponding amine.

(b)

Interpretation:

The product formed when the following ammonium salt is treated with $\text{NaOH}$ to be drawn.

  ${{\text{[CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\text{]}}^{\text{+}}{\text{HSO}}_{\text{4}}{}^{\text{-}}$
