A 90 g of ethyl amine on reaction with methyl chloride produced a tertiary amine as an exclusive product. The amount of methyl chloride required is
[Given mass in amu : H=1, C=12, N=14, Cl=35.5]

  • A
    50.5 g
  • B
    101 g
  • Correct answer
    C
    202 g
  • D
    303 g

Solution

The Standard Reaction is:

CH3CH2NH2 + 2CH3Cl → CH33N + HCl

Molar mass of ethyl amine = 45 g

The molar mass of methyl chloride = 50.5 g

Given Moles ethyl amine= 9045=2 

As per the Standard reaction,

1 mole of CH3CH2NH2 react with 2 mole of CH3Cl, 

So, 2 moles of CH3CH2NH2 react with 4 moles of CH3Cl

Hence, the amount methyl chloride obtained is 4×50.5 = 202 g

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
