Question

What relation does the boiling point of an amine have to a similar hydrocarbon?

Answer 1

Amones have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one, two, or even all three of its hydrogen atoms are replaced by hydrocarbon groups. Amines ate soluble in water via hydrogen bond between its molecule (=N-H group) and water molecules. Hydrocarbons on the other hand are insoluble in water (in which this solubility increases as the carbon chain increases)

Amines are having higher boiling points than hydrocarbons , as C-N bond in amines is more polar than a C-C bond in hydrocarbons. Due to the polar nature of amines it forms intermolecular H-bonds and exists as associated molecules.

Answer 2

Amine have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary, secondary and tertiary amines have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons because they can engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Amines has three classes

1. Primary amines

2. Secondary amines

3. Tertiary amines

All this classes of amines have higher boiling point than hydrocarbons due to C-N bond in them

This is because amines can engage in hydrogen bonding with water, amines of low molar mass are quite soluble in water.

Amines are having higher boiling points than hydrocarbons, as C-N bond in amines is more polar than a C-C bond in hydrocarbons. Due to the polar nature of amines, it forms intermolecular H-bonds and exists as associated molecules.
