Yes, C2H5NH2, also known as ethylamine, is a weak base. It can accept a proton (H+) to form the ethylammonium ion (C2H5NH3+).
2 answers
Ammonia is less basic than ethylamine because the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in ammonia is delocalized in the sp3 orbital, making it less available for donation. In contrast, in ethylamine, the lone pair is in an sp3 orbital on nitrogen, making it more available for donation, resulting in higher basicity.

This organic compound is called ethylamine. It consists of an ethyl group (C2H5) attached to an amino group (NH2), with the chemical formula C2H5ON.
2 answers
When ammonia is mixed with alcohol, it forms an amine compound called ethylamine. This reaction occurs through a nucleophilic substitution reaction, where the ammonia molecule (NH3) donates a lone pair to the alcohol molecule (ROH), replacing the alkyl group (R) with an amino group (NH2). The resulting ethylamine compound has various applications in chemical synthesis and pharmaceuticals.

There would need to be a double bond between the two CH's such as in CH3CH2CH=CHCH2NH2, otherwise the molecule wouldn't exist. The name of this compound would be
2-penten-1-amine
4 answers
No, C2H5NH2 (ethylamine) is not a strong acid. It is a weak base because it accepts a proton (H+) to form its conjugate acid, ethylammonium ion (C2H5NH3+), in a reversible reaction.

Charles-Adolphe Wurtz was a french chemist that is most famous for the Wurtz reaction, in which carbon-carbon bonds are formed by reacting alkyl halides with sodium.
He has also discovered ethylamine and ethylene glycol and has done research on organic nitrogen, glycols, and hydrocarbons.
More generally, he was also a writer and an educator.
Hope this helps

Replacing a halide group in an alkyl halide compound with an amine group (-NH2) through a nucleophilic substitution reaction can produce an amine. For example, substituting a chlorine atom in chloroethane (C2H5Cl) with an amino group would generate ethylamine (C2H5NH2).
3 answers
The NH2 functional group of this organic compound, is called an Amine. this is a basic sidebranch, which when in solution will give an overall basic (alkalinic as some know it) presence. This could be identified, on this particular compound (Ethanamine/ethylamine/aminoethane) by addition of an acid, which will trigger an acid base reaction by which the NH2 group can be identified.
3 answers
Amines can exist as either liquids or solids at room temperature, depending on their molecular structure. Lower molecular weight amines are typically liquids, while higher molecular weight amines tend to be solid at room temperature.

Basic biology--phenyl ethylamine (it is a chemical produced by the brain that acts like a sort of natural amphetamine) and dopamine (which causes a human desire for close contact).Most people have a physical 'type' that they find personally desireable; when our sensors respond to that type, our brains produce these chemicals; the result is a rush that is often described as 'chemistry' or 'love/lust at first sight'. We recognize (subconsciously) that the more we spend time with this person or think of them, the more of a 'rush' we experience. Think of it as an addict (you) needing to get their 'fix' (contact with the person you're attracted to). There's no love at first sight, just a chemical rush.
If you're wondering why you or are attracted to the wrong person, it may be because you are 'high' on the physical response to these substances, which overwhelms your ability to exercise good judgment and sense. Understand the initial chemical attraction but realize that this person doesn't have qualities that you need in a partner.

Acetic acid:
CH3CO2H + H2O <<----> H3O+ + CH3CO2-
The equilibrium is far more on the left side (<<--), less than 1% is protolised as acid (righthand reaction -->) so it is a weak acid.
Ethanoic Acid is an example of a weak acid, most orgainic acids are weak acids.

How will they kill you? Given the exhausting list, the simplest way to answer that is by overdose. Obviously, a drug overdose is unique to the drug that's causing it. Instead of listing each drug's mechanism of overdose here, I recommend you find the drug you're interested in and then look up info on it, including things like its LD50.
There no known fatal dose of LSD.Cannabis youd have to take so much youd be sick before you OD'd.Theres never been a recorded case of LSD or cannabis overdose.

Designer drug is a term used to describe psychoactive drugs which are created (or marketed, if they had already existed) to get around existing drug laws, usually by modifying the molecular structures of existing drugs to varying degrees, or less commonly by finding drugs with entirely different chemical structures that produce similar subjective effects to illegal recreational drugs.
In the United States, the Controlled Substances Act was amended by the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement of 1986, which attempted to ban designer drugs pre-emptively by making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or possess chemicals that were substantially similar in chemistry and pharmacology to Schedule I or Schedule II drugs. Other countries have dealt with the issue differently. In some, they simply ban new drugs as they become a concern, as do Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Most of the best known research chemicals are structural analogues of tryptamines or phenethylamines, but there are also many other completely unrelated chemicals which can be considered as part of the group. It is very difficult to determine psychoactivity or other pharmaceutical properties of these compounds based strictly upon structural examination. Many of the substances have common effects whilst structurally different and vice versa. As a result of no real official naming for some of these compounds, as well as regional naming, this can all lead to (and is anecdotally known to have led to) potentially hazardous mix ups for users. Some common designer drugs include:
Opioids
* α-methylfentanyl, became well known as "China White" on the heroin market * parafluorofentanyl * 3-methylfentanyl, extremely potent opioid, allegedly used as a chemical weapon by the Russian military in the Moscow theater hostage crisis * MPPP, especially famous due to an impurity in some batches called MPTP which caused permanent Parkinsonism with a single use
Tryptamine-based
* 4-Acetoxy-DiPT, N,N-diisopropyl-4-acetoxytryptamine * 5-MeO-AMT, 5-methoxy-alpha-methyltryptamine * 5-MeO-DIPT, 5-methoxy-di-isopropyltryptamine (also known as "Foxy" or "Foxy Methoxy") * 5-MeO-DMT, 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine * AMT, α-methyltryptamine * AET, α-ethyltryptamine * DiPT, N,N-diisopropyl-tryptamine * DPT, N,N-dipropyltryptamine
Phenethylamine-based
* 2C-B, 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine * 2C-C, 2,5-dimethyoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine * 2C-I, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine * 2C-E, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-phenethylamine * 2C-T-2, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylthiophenethylamine * 2C-T-7, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine * 2C-T-21, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-fluoroethylthio)phenethylamine * MDMA, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine * MDEA, 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine * DOB, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine * DOM, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine * TMA-2, 2,4,5-Trimethoxyamphetamine * PMA, a highly dangerous analogue of MDMA responsible for many accidental deaths
PCP analogues
* TCP, 1-[1-(2-thienyl)-cyclohexyl]-piperidine or thienylcyclohexylpiperidine * PCE, (1-Phenylcyclohexyl)ethylamine * PCPy, 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)pyrrolidine * 4-MeO-PCP
Piperazine-based
* BZP, benzylpiperazine * TFMPP, 3-Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine, has the unique distinction of being the only drug to be emergency scheduled into Schedule I and then allowed to become legal because the DEA was unable to justify permanent scheduling * mCPP, 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine * pFPP, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazine
Steroids
* Norbolethone * THG, "The Clear" * Madol (sometimes confusingly referred to as "DMT")
Stimulants
* Geranamine * 4-Methylaminorex * MDPV * Desoxypipradrol * Diphenylprolinol * Mephedrone
Sedatives
* GBL, gamma-butyrolactone, both a precursor to and substitute for GHB * 1,4-Butanediol, another GHB analogue * Methylmethaqualone, an analogue of the sedative methaqualone * Mebroqualone
Erectile dysfunction
* Acetildenafil * Aminotadalafil * Homosildenafil * Hydroxyacetildenafil * Hydroxyhomosildenafil * Piperidino-acetildenafil * Piperidino-vardenafil
Cannabinoids
* THC-O-acetate * JWH-018 - found as an active ingredient in herbal smoking blends such as "Spice". * JWH-073 * JWH-200 * CP 47,497 * CP 55,940

Well today i am going to the zoo to find a fish like pill and to lock myself in with the monkeys. Look it's alot of info on
Chocolate
Friend - Endorphins, stimulates mind, calcium source, great gift, energy
Foe - (argue against these) acne/pimples, weight, sugar,
1. Chocolate is one of the most popular foods around and is highly unlikely to ever go out of fashion.
2. The word 'Chocolate' comes from the Aztec word, 'cacahuatl' or 'xocolatl'. This means 'bitter water'.
3. Chocolate is derived from Cocoa Beans. It was Cacao originally, but became Cocoa as a result of misspelling.
4. Cocoa Trees require warm, moist climates and are largely found in West Africa - Ghana, the Ivory Coast and Nigeria. The scientific term for the Cocoa Tree is 'Theobroma Cacao'. This is the Greek term for 'Food for the Gods'.
5. Cocoa Trees produce pods and each pod contains about 20 to 50 Cocoa Beans. There are different varieties of Cocoa Beans with different flavors, and, just like different grapes are used to make different wines, different Cocoa Beans are used to make different kinds of Chocolates. Cocoa Beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and ground before being used to produce chocolate.
6. The Mayans and Aztecs believed that the Cocoa Beans originated from Paradise and would bring wisdom and power to anyone consuming them.
7. The Aztecs mixed Chocolate with Chilies, Cornmeal, and Hallucinogenic Mushroom. It was a bitter brew!
8. The precious Cocoa Beans were used as a currency and as a unit of calculation in the Mayan and Aztec Cultures.
9. Emperor Montezuma of Mexico partook a Chocolate drink before entering his harem. This gave rise to the notion of Chocolate having aphrodisiac properties. The Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova was another fellow who subscribed to this notion. There is some truth to the idea though, since Chocolate contains hundreds of chemicals including the feel-good stimulants - Caffeine, Theobromine, and Phenyethylamine.
10. However the amount of Caffeine in Chocolate is very little - about 5 to 10 milligrams of caffeine in one ounce of bittersweet chocolate, 5 milligrams in milk chocolate, and 10 milligrams in a six-ounce cup of cocoa. Compare this to 100-150 milligrams found in a cup of coffee.
11. Theobromine helps boost low blood-sugar levels and another chemical, Chromium, helps to control blood sugar.
12. Theobromine, however, is highly toxic to dogs, cats, and other household pets. It overstimulates their cardiac and nervous systems, and can cause instant death.
13. For humans though, Chocolate is a wonderful energy source. Napoleon supposedly carried along Chocolate on his military campaigns, and always ate it to restore energy. Nowadays Sports-persons are often given Chocolate energy bars after sporting activities to restore carbohydrates.
14. Even though Chocolate is high in fat, it does not appear to raise blood cholesterol.
15. Despite the popular, lingering myth, Chocolate does not cause acne. Acne is usually due to an improper diet or a hormone imbalance.
16. Also, contrary to another popular myth, Chocolates are not responsible for causing headaches. Headaches, again, have different reasons - stress, hunger, irregular sleep patterns, and hormone changes.
17. Allergies to chocolate are very uncommon.
17. Cocoa butter, which is the fat extract from roasted and crushed Cocoa Beans, is often used as a massage cream.
18. It is also used to make White, Caffeine-less Chocolate.
19. Cocoa Beans were first brought to Europe by the Spanish Conquistadors in 1528.
1) Cacao is a tree, native to South America, whose seeds are the source of cocoa and chocolate.
2) Botanists believe that cacao trees grew wild in the Amazon region , however, the use of the cacao tree, for culinary purposes, did not begin until it reached the lush tropical lowlands of southern Mexico over 3000 years ago.
3) The oldest known civilization of the Americas (1500 - 400 B.C.), The Olmecs, were probably the first users of cacao.
Though few records survived, recent linguistic findings suggest the word "cacao" is derived from the word Kakawa in Mixe-Zoquean, believed to have been their language.
4) Cacao beans were so valuable in ancient Mexico that the Maya and subsequent Aztec and Toltec civilizations used them as a means of currency to pay for commodities and taxes.
The Aztecs, and other ancient indigenous cultures, believed chocolate to be an aphrodisiac. Although this is not exactly true, chocolate does contain phenyl ethylamine (PEA) which creates a chemical reaction in the brain similar to that of falling in love.
5) In the 17th Century, the first recorded case of "Death by Chocolate" occurred.
In San Cristobal de las Casa, in Chiapas, Mexico, upper class Spaniards were so addicted to chocolate intake that they refused a church dictated ban forbidding consumption of drink or food during Mass.
In response, the townspeople refused to uphold this edict and chose to attend worship services in Convents.
The Bishop of Chiapas, who passed the edict, was found dead due to a mixture of poison that was secretly added to his daily cup of chocolate. Rumour has it that he passed from this world with a smile on his face.
6) Cocoa, a rare and expensive commodity, had been introduced in Central Europe via Spain as early as the 1600's but it wasn't until 1765 that the first chocolate factory was established in the United States.
Chocolate was such as a prestigious luxury that the French Ruler, Louis XIV, also known as the "Sun King", established a court position entitled Royal Chocolate Maker to the King.
7) The French Leader Napoleon insisted that wine, from the Burgundy vineyard called Chambertin, as well as chocolate be available during military campaigns.
Due to its precious nature, the distribution of chocolate was limited to himself and his senior military advisors.
8) In 1765, the company, Walter Baker Chocolate, was founded by Dr. James Baker and his chocolate maker John Hannon, in a converted wooden mill on the banks of the Neponset River in Massachusetts and thus the term "Baking Chocolate" came into being.
9) In 1828, cocoa in a powdered format became widely available. This allowed chocolate to become mass produced and widely available during Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth (19th) century.
10) In 1849 during the "Gold Rush" of San Francisco, Dominbro Ghirardelli of Italy began making chocolate. His original factory still stands at Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, CA.
11) In 1868, a Parisian named Etienne Guittard arrived in California and started the Guittard Chocolate Company which is still in operation.
12) 1871 was a landmark year for American Chocolate as Milton Hershey, at the age of nineteen (19), founded his company in Pennsylvania.
13) In 1875, Milk Chocolate was introduced. After over eight (8) years of experimentation, Daniel Peter of Switzerland created this concoction.
He sold his creation to his neighbour, Henri Nestle, and thus Nestle Chocolate came into being.
14) In 1879, Rodolphe Lindt, the founder of Lindt Chocolates, invented the process of "Conching" which is used to refine chocolate thus enhancing it's quality.
15) In 1896, the recipe for chocolate brownies, an American snack food staple, was introduced in the Fannie Farmer Cookbook.
16) In 1907, the iconic Milk Chocolate Hershey's Kisses were introduced. They are one of the most successful chocolates and Hershey produces approximately 20-25 million per day in a variety of flavors.
17) In 1913, a process was invented by a Swiss Confectioner named Jules Sechaud that allowed chocolates to have unique fillings.
18) The original 3 Musketeers Bar of the 1930s had three parts: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
It became all chocolate in the 1940s and the formula remains the same to this very day.
19) In 1938, Nestle Crunch was introduced. It was the first chocolate bar to combine milk chocolate and crunchy crisps to create a sensory eating experience that blended taste, texture and sound.
20) In 1939, Nestle introduced Chocolate Chips.
21) During the Second World War, the U.S. Government commissioned Milton Hershey to create a candy bar to be included in soldier's rations. The candy bar chosen was the famous Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar.

The U.S. produces more chocolate than any other country but the Swiss consume the most, followed closely by the English.
Americans eat an average of twenty two (22) pounds of candy each year, or approximately 2.8 BILLION pounds annually, split almost equally between candy and chocolate. That is far less than most Europeans consume.
The Midwest and the Northeast consume more candy per region than the South, Southwest, West or Mid-Atlantic states.
The American palette prefers milk chocolate, approximately ninety two (92) percent, but dark chocolate's popularity is growing rapidly.
American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk only surpassed by the cheese and ice cream industries. They also consume approximately 3,500,000 pounds of whole milk.
Chocolate manufacturers currently use forty (40) % of the world's almonds and twenty (20) % of the world's peanuts.
As of 2006, consumers spent more than $7,000,000 a year on chocolate related products.
