Question

High basicity of Me₂NH relative to Me₃N in aqueous solution is attributed to ______.

विकल्प

• effect of solvent

• inductive effect of Me

• shape of Me₂NH

• shape of Me₃N

Answer 1

High basicity of Me₂NH relative to Me₃N in aqueous solution is attributed to effect of solvent.

Explanation:

Secondary amines are more basic than tertiary amines because the 2° amine is stabilized by hydrogen bonding with the solvent molecule.
