The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the separation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, we need to analyze the methods provided and determine which one cannot be used for their separation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amines**: - Primary amines have one alkyl group attached to the nitrogen. - Secondary amines have two alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen. - Tertiary amines have three alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen. 2. **Methods of Separation**: - The question lists several methods for separating these amines. We need to evaluate each method to see if it can effectively separate primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. 3. **Fractional Distillation**: - This method utilizes the differences in boiling points of the amines. Since primary, secondary, and tertiary amines have different boiling points, fractional distillation can effectively separate them. - **Conclusion**: Fractional distillation can be used. 4. **Hinsberg Method**: - The Hinsberg method involves treating amines with benzene sulfonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl). - Primary amines form soluble sulfonamides, secondary amines form insoluble sulfonamides, and tertiary amines do not react. This allows for the separation of the three types of amines. - **Conclusion**: The Hinsberg method can be used. 5. **Selective Crystallization**: - Selective crystallization relies on the different solubilities of compounds in a solvent. However, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines may not have sufficiently different solubilities to allow for effective separation using this method. - **Conclusion**: Selective crystallization cannot be used effectively for separating these amines. 6. **Final Answer**: - The method that cannot be used to separate primary, secondary, and tertiary amines is **selective crystallization**. ### Summary: The correct answer to the question is that primary, secondary, and tertiary amines can be separated by all methods listed except **selective crystallization**.
