If ‘x’ ml of butan-1amine and ‘y’ ml of butan-1-ol is completely soluble in 100ml of water each, what is the relation between x and y?(a) x > y(b) x < y(c) x = y(d) x + y = 100I got this question in homework.This intriguing question comes from Amines Physical Properties topic in portion Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (b) x < y

To ELABORATE: Alcohols are more polar than amines of COMPARABLE MOLECULAR masses and form STRONGER intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water. Therefore, the solubility of butan-1-ol is more than that of butan-1-amine.
