Passage II
Primary amines (PAs) are compounds containing an amino (NH2) group bound to a hydrocarbon chain (a group made up of C and H atoms). Table 1 lists, for each of 5 PAs, the chemical formula, molecular mass (mass of 1 molecule) in atomic mass units (amu), melting point (MP), and boiling point (BP).
Table 2 lists, for each of the 5 PAs, the flash point (the lowest temperature at which a flammable mixture is formed in the air above a liquid) and the temperature at which the vapor pressure (the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid state) equals 0.1 kPa, 1 kPa, 10 kPa, and 100 kPa.

12. Which of the PAs listed in Table 1 would exist in the liquid state at −65°C and 101.3 kPa ?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is F
Explanation
The temperature of the liquid state should be between the melting point and the boiling point. According to Table 1, only 1-propanamine meets the conditions at -65°C, choose F
