Two mark questions
1. Between CH3CH2CH2NH2 and (CH3)3N , which has higher boiling point and why?
2. How is nitrobenzene converted into aniline. Give the equation.
3. Give reason:
i) Amines have lower boiling points than alcohols of comparable molecular mass.
ii) Boiling points of primary amines are higher than that of secondary amines of
comparable molecular mass.
4. Amines are both Bronsted base and Lewis base. How?
5. Give reason: aniline is a weaker base than ammonia but methanamine is a
stronger base than ammonia.
6. Arrange 1°, 2°, 3°methylamines in decreasing order of their base strength

i) in gaseous phase ii) in aqueous medium

7. Name two factors that effect the basic strengths of 1°, 2°, 3° methyl amines in
