Why do you add hydroxide to your hexanediamine solution? what would occur if you did not add it?.
1 answer:
<h3>Why is Hydroxide added ?</h3>
In the polymerization reaction, the lone pair electrons on the NH₂ groups of hexanediamine attack the C=O groups of the dicarboxylic acid in a nucleophilic substitution reaction as shown in the image.
Hydroxide is added to remove any H⁺ ions present and keep the hexanediamine in the deprotonated form, so that the NH₂ lone pair electrons are available for reaction.
<h3 /><h3>What if you don't add it ?</h3>If hydroxide is not added, the NH₂ groups will get protonated by H⁺ ions present to give NH₃⁺ groups, which cannot react.

Hello!
In this case, given this is an acid-base neutralization and we are considering a diprotic acid, we can write the following mole-mole relationship:
It means that the moles of acid can be computed given the volume and concentration of NaOH:
It means that the approximate molar mass of the acid is:
