1 of 33
Understanding +4 | -1
Which statement is not correct regarding aniline?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
It is soluble in water
Option D (It is soluble in water) is the incorrect statement because aniline is only slightly soluble in water due to the large hydrophobic phenyl group.
2 Easy

The amine which is most basic in aqueous solution is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
(CH3)2NH{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}NH
Option A ((CH3)2NH{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}NH) is correct because secondary amines are generally more basic than primary or tertiary amines in aqueous solution due to a combination of inductive effect and solvation effects.
3 Easy

Understanding +4 | -1
The reduction of which of the following compound would yield secondary amine?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Carbylamine
Option B (Carbylamine) is correct because the reduction of carbylamines (isocyanides) yields secondary amines.

Understanding +4 | -1
Which one of the following methods is neither meant for the synthesis nor for separation of amines?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Wurtz reaction
Option B (Wurtz reaction) is correct because the Wurtz reaction is used for the synthesis of alkanes, not amines, and is not used for separating amines.

The correct order of the basic strength of methyl substituted amines in aqueous solution is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
(CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N{(C{H_3})_2}NH\, > \,C{H_3}N{H_2}\, > \,{(C{H_3})_3}N
Option A ((CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N{(C{H_3})_2}NH\, > \,C{H_3}N{H_2}\, > \,{(C{H_3})_3}N) is correct because in aqueous solution, the basic strength is influenced by both the +I effect of methyl groups and solvation effects. Secondary amines are generally more basic than primary amines due to better solvation, while tertiary amines are less basic due to steric hindrance and reduced solvation.

The value of Kb{K_b} is highest in case of:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
p−p -methoxy aniline
Option A (p−p -methoxy aniline) is correct because the methoxy group is an electron-donating group, which increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom, making it more basic and thus increasing the KbK_b value.

Correct option: A
CH3NH2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2}
Option A (CH3NH2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2}) is correct because primary amines react with Hinsberg's reagent to form a sulfonamide that has an acidic hydrogen and is therefore soluble in alkali.
