Q

Why can ammonia and amines act as bases?

A

Because the Nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons that readily accepts a H+ ion/ proton

16
Q

Why are amines stringer bases than ammonia?

A

Amines are attached to alkyl groups, which increase the nitrogens electron density due to the positive inductive effect. Therefore nitrogens lone pair of electrons are more readily available to accept a H+ ion

17
Q

Why is ammonia a stronger base than aromatic amines?

A

In aromatic amines, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen are delocalised into the benzene Pi ring. This decreases the electron density of the nitrogen atom, and so the lone pair are less readily available to accept the H+ ion

18
Q

What is a nucleophile?

A

An electron pair donor

19
Q

Why are amines nucleophiles?

A

Because the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons that can be donated.

20
Q

How can a primary amine be produced in the nucleophilic substitution with ammonia and halogenoalkanes?

A

Using excess ammonia

21
Q

How can a secondary or tertiary amines be produced in the nucleophilic substitution with ammonia and halogenoalkanes?

A

By using excess amine, one alkyl group will be added to the amine

22
Q

How can a quaternary amine be produced in the nucleophilic substitution with ammonia and halogenoalkanes?

A

By using excess halogenoalkane

23
Q

What can quaternary ammonium salts be used for?

A

As household detergents and conditioners

24
Q

What are wuaternary ammonium salts an example of? And why?

A

Cationic surfactants-
The quaternary ammonium ions are cations, so dissolve in water
Its hydrocarbon chain is not charged, so does not dissolve in water

25
Q

What is a surfactant?

A

Compounds with regions that are partially soluble in water and partially insoluble in water

26
Q

What is the product of nucleophilic substitution with ammonia and excess halogenoalke?

A

Quaternary ammonium salt

27
Q

What are the products of reacting ammonia and acyl chlorides? What mechanism does this use?

A

Electrophilic addition substitution
Produces a primary amide

28
Q

What are the products of reacting acyl chlorides with amines? What mechanism does this use?

A

Nucleophilic addition elimination
It produces N- substituted amides
