Which of the following molecules is the most soluble in water? Select one: a. CH3CH2CH2CH2NH2 b. CH3CH2CH2NH2 c. CH3CH2NH2 d. CH3NH2
Added by Elizabeth H.
Step 1
a. CH3CH2CH2CH2NH2: This molecule has an amine group (NH2) which can form hydrogen bonds with water, but it also has a long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain (CH3CH2CH2CH2) which reduces its solubility in water. b. CH3CH2CH2NH2: This molecule also has an amine group Show more…
