Question

Among the following amines namely ethylmethyl amine, propyl amine, trimethyl amine, the lowest boiling point is of (A) ethylmethyl amine (B) trimethyl amine (C) propyl amine (D) All of these have same boiling point

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Boiling point decreases with branching due to decrease in surface area. That is why trimethyl amine has the lowest boiling point among the given amines.

Q. Among the following amines namely ethylmethyl amine, propyl amine, trimethyl amine, the lowest boiling point is of

ethylmethyl amine

trimethyl amine

propyl amine

All of these have same boiling point

Boiling point decreases with branching due to decrease in surface area. That is why trimethyl amine has the lowest boiling point among the given amines.
