Question

Write the chemical equation for the reaction of propylamine with water.

Answer 1

  CH3CH2CH2NH2 + H2O < = >CH3CH2CH2NH3+ + OH-

Answer 2

Answer:

$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{NH}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \Leftrightarrow\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$

Explanation:

Propylamine is a colourless  volatile liquid and also a weak base, they belong to amine family of chemicals, they are used as a solvent for organic synthesis, they are also used as a finishing agent in rubber, fiber, pesticides, paints and drugs etc. They are  also used as a petroleum additive and preservation.

They smell like ammonia but belong to amine group. The above reaction shows up the reaction taking place to form propylamine.
