b. propylamine

Accepted Answer

Welcome back, everyone provide two separate balanced chemical equations for the reactions of one butane amine with water and hydrotic acid. Her soul. Let's draw the structure of butane amine. And specifically one bean amine means that we have a four membered carbon chain, 1234 and an amino group is bonded to carbon number one. So we have the structure. And now in the first part of the problem, it reacts with water, we have to recognize that this is a simple hydrolysis equation in which a base gets partially ionized. Now, our base is the amine itself because nitrogen has a long pair of electrons and that low pair can be utilized in the formation of the nitrogen hydrogen bond. We also have to remember that it is a weak base relative to strong bases such as hydroxides. And therefore water will act as an acid, a proton donor. So we're going to protein the amine to get an ammonium salt. So we're adding an extra hydrogen which also provides nitrogen with a formal positive charge. And since water loses a proton, while it becomes hydroxide, one hydrogen is lost, oxygen gets a negative charge. And Now, for the second reaction, we can essentially redraw the same starting Ame one bean amine. But now it reacts with a strong acid. We are not observing a hydrolysis reaction previously because it was a partial ionization. We used reversible arrows. But now we are using a weak base and a strong acid. In this case, we are using a forward arrow, right. It can essentially be represented as titration and titration experiments. So we know that this is a basic reaction that goes to completion, right? And acid is a proton donor. So once again, we are forming the same ammonium salt. And now if we consider the second product, if hydrotic acid loses its hydrogen, then we are producing iodide. Well, then we have our reactions, they don't need to be balanced because we simply have a proton transfer from one structure to another. So they are already balanced. Thank you for watching.
