Question

How many moles of methyl iodide are required to convert ethylamine, diethyl amine and triethyl amine into quaternary ammonium salt, respectively?

Answer 1

Answer:3,2 and 1 respectively

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of moles of methyl iodide required convert ethylamine, diethyl amine, and triethyl amine into quaternary ammonium salt are 3, 2, and 1 respectively.

Explanation:

• Quaternary salt is formed when all the hydrogen of the ammonium ion are replaced by the alkyl groups.
• Ethyl amine = CH3CH2NH2. Here, one hydrogen group pf the ammonium group is present. Three more methyl groups are required from methyl iodide to convert it into quaternary ammonium salt.
• Diethyl amine = CH3CH2NHCH2CH3. Here, two methyl groups are required from the methyl iodide.
• Triethyl amine = CH3C2N(CH2CH3)CH2CH3. Here, one methyl group is required from the methyl iodide.
