The chemistry of amines

Amines are examples of organic nitrogen compounds and we can think of them as substituted ammonia molecules since they have

1. Strong acid – strong base titrations Imagine we are titrating a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid against a

Once again, we can assume that strong bases are fully dissociated in solution so the concentration of OH– is the

We should start by appreciating that in reality many acid-base reactions are equilibrium reactions, even if it doesn’t appear obvious

At GCSE we defined acids as substances that ionised in water to give hydrogen ions, and an alkali dissolved in

Halogenoalkanes undergo substitution reactions in the presence of a nucleophile such as the hydroxide ion, OH–, but most good nucleophiles
