Question

Aromatic amines are insoluble in water because:

• A. Due to the larger hydrocarbon part which tends to retard the formation of H-bonds.
• B. Due to the larger hydrocarbon part which tends to retard the formation of H-Nbonds.
• C. Due to the larger hydrocarbon part which tends to retard the formation of H-Cbonds.
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Due to the larger hydrocarbon part which tends to retard the formation of H-bonds.

Aromatic amines are insoluble in water because of large hydrocarbon part (hydrophobic) part which retards the formation of H-bonding.
