Q. Methyl amine reacts with methyl iodide. For completion of reaction, how many moles of methyl iodide are required ?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Explanation
(c)
$CH_{3} - NH_{2} + 3CH_{3}I \rightarrow \left( CH_{3} \right)_{4}N^{+}I^{-}$
methyl amine quaternary
ammonium salt
therefore, 3 moles of $CH_{3}I$ (methyl iodide) are required for reaction with methyl amine.
