Which of the following gives the correct order of solubility in water? A) C₂H₅NH₂

Question

Which of the following gives the correct order of solubility in water? A) C₂H₅NH₂ < C₄H₉NH₂ < C₆H₁₃NH₂ B) C₂H₅NH₂ < C₆H₁₃NH₂ < C₄H₉NH₂ C) C₆H₁₃NH₂ < C₄H₉NH₂ < C₂H₅NH₂ D) C₆H₁₃NH₂ < C₂H₅NH₂ < C₄H₉NH₂

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The solubility of amines in water decreases as the hydrocarbon chain length increases. Therefore, C₂H₅NH₂ is more soluble than C₄H₉NH₂, which is more soluble than C₆H₁₃NH₂.
