In aqueous solutions, the basic strength of amines decreases in the order
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
(CH3)2NH2>CH3NH2>(CH3)3N{\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2} > \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2} > {\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_3}\mathrm{N}
Option D ((CH3)2NH2>CH3NH2>(CH3)3N{\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2} > \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2} > {\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_3}\mathrm{N}) is correct because in aqueous solutions, the basic strength of amines depends on the electron-donating effect and steric hindrance.
