Mention the chief use of quaternary ammonium salts derived from long chain amines.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Quaternary Ammonium Salts:** Quaternary ammonium salts are a class of compounds that consist of a nitrogen atom bonded to four organic groups. In this context, they are derived from long-chain amines, which typically have alkyl chains ranging from C8 to C18. 2. **Structure of Quaternary Ammonium Salts:** The general structure of a quaternary ammonium salt can be represented as R4N^+X^-, where R represents the long-chain alkyl groups and X is the anion (like Cl^-). For example, a common quaternary ammonium salt can be represented as CH3(CH2)15N+(CH3)3Cl^-, indicating a long alkyl chain attached to the nitrogen. ...

Amines are derivatives of ammonia and are classified as 1^(@), 2^(@) , and 3^(@) , Primary and secondary (but not teritiary amines) form intermolecular hydrogen bonds and thus they boil at highter temperatures than expected. Like ammonia, all amines are basic, although they differ in their basic nature. As amines are considered as derivatives of ammonia, quaternary ammonium salts are considered as derivatives of ammonium salts. Only the quaternary ammonium salts can shown optical activity. When nitrogen is bounded to three different groups
