Question

Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferric oxide.... Explain ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate ferric hydroxide. Due to the +I effect of -CH3 group, methylamine is more basic than water. therefore, in water methylamine produces OH- ions by accepting H+ ions form water. Methyl amine is a base and dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions.
