Are amines soluble in water?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the solubility of amines in water, which is a topic related to chemistry. We will explore the properties of amines and factors that influence their solubility in water.

Answer

Small amines are very soluble in water.

Small amines of all types are very soluble in water, particularly those with fewer than five carbon atoms.

Answer for screen readers

Small amines of all types are very soluble in water, particularly those with fewer than five carbon atoms.

More Information

The solubility of amines in water decreases with larger molecular sizes or longer hydrocarbon chains due to increased hydrophobic character.

Tips

Be careful not to generalize the solubility of all amines without considering their molecular size.
