8. What product(s) do we get on reaction of methanol with ammonia?
a) Trimethylamines
b) Dimethylamines
c) Monomethylamines
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: d
Clarification: Mono-, di-, and trimethylamines are obtained by the reaction of methanol with ammonia under a pressure of 50 atm at about 380-450°C, over an aluminium oxide catalyst.
9. Trimethylamines form an azeotrope in the above reaction.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Trimethylamine forms a binary azeotrope not only with NH3, but with mono- and dimethylamines as well, and that mono- and dimethylamine mixtures, boiling about 14°C apart, can be conveniently separated by fractional distillation.
10. The solubility is only influenced by solvent.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Solubility is influenced not only by the solvent, but by the different basicities of the amines.
11. What is meant by TMMD?
a) Trimethylmethylenediamine
b) Tetramethylmethylenediamine
c) Trimethydiamine
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: b
Clarification: The full form of TMMD is Tetramethylmethylenediamine.
12. Hydroammonolysis of Acetone yield a mixture of products.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Hydroammonolysis of Acetone thus yields a mixture of mono-, di-, and triisopropylamines.
13. Which reactants are best for the industrial preparation of amines by the ammonolysis?
a) Aromatic
b) Halides
c) Alcohols
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: d
Clarification: The successful industrial preparation of amines by the ammonolysis of aromatic halides, alcohols, and sulfonic acids depends largely upon the proper functioning of the ammonia system.
