Answer:
The protic solvents are (CH3)2CHOH, NH3, and HCONH2
The aprotic solvent are CH3NO2, CH2Cl2, and N(CH3)3
Explanation:
A protic solvent is a solvent that has a hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen (O), a nitrogen (N), or fluoride (F). Generally, any solvent that contains a labile H⁺ is called a protic solvent.
a. (CH3)2CHOH
(CH3)2CHOH is a protic solvent because one of the hydrogens is bound to oxygen (O)
b. CH3NO2
CH3NO2 is an aprotic (i.e not a protic solvent) solvent because all the hydrogens are bound to carbon.
c. CH2Cl2
CH2Cl2 is an aprotic solvent because all the hydrogens are bound to carbon.
d. NH3 is a protic solvent because all the hydrogens are bound to Nitrogen (N)
e. N(CH3)3 is an aprotic solvent because all the hydrogens are bound to carbon
f. HCONH2 is a protic solvent because two of the hydrogens are bound to Nitrogen (N)
