If the boiling point of diethylamine is 329 K, predict the boiling point of ethyldimethylamine.(a) 310 K(b) 329 K(c) 340 K(d) 351 KThis question was addressed to me in examination.The above asked question is from Amines Physical Properties in section Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) 310 K

Explanation: Diethylamine is a 2° amine whereas, ethyldimethylamine is a 3° amine. In 3° amines, there are no hydrogen ATOMS available for intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the tertiary amines have LOWEST boiling point AMONG the primary and secondary COUNTERPARTS.
