Question

3. To the solution from step 2 add 6 M NaOH, sodium hydroxide solution, drop-by-drop until the solution is just basic to litmus paper. Note the odor of the solution. Write an equation to show that the amine salt is converted back to the amine, which is called the free amine or free base. Odor Chemical Equation Disposal: Discard the solution in the waste container. 5. Base Hydrolysis of Amides 1. Place a few crystals of acetamide in a test tube and add 2 mL of 6 M NaOH. 2. Warm the tube gently, in water bath, and cautiously note the odor of the gas being produced. Odor_IAmmonia 3. Place a strip of moistened litmus paper over the opening of the tube. Identify the gas being lib Litmus paper Gas NH3 Discard in a waste container.
Can someone help me wirh the Chemical equation?

Answer 1

SOLN 3

Since the step 2 is not given I am taking general reaction of amine salt with NaOH

let the salt be RNH_3⁺

RNH₃⁺ + NaOH -----------> R-NH₂ + H₂O

(acid base reaction)
