Question

The reaction of an acyl chloride with an amine to produce an amide requires 2 moles of amine per each mole of acyl chloride. Why?

One mole of amine is required to buffer the solution.

One mole of amine is required to make the solution basic.

Each amide molecule contains 2 nitrogen atoms and therefore 2 amine molecules are required to supply the nitrogen.

An excess of amine is required to shift the equilibrium toward the products.

Half of the amine is used to convert to the amide and the other half reacts with the displaced hydrogen and chlorine to form an ammonium salt.

Since there are two nitrogen atoms on each molecule of amide so two amine molecules are required so option (C) is correct
