Q12 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry

The correct decreasing order of the basic strength is

  • A
    HS->CH3->NH2->CN-
  • B
    HS->CN->NH2->CH3-
  • Correct answer
    C
    CH3->NH2->CN->HS-
  • D
    NH2->CN->CH3->HS-

Solution

According to the question, Conjugate acids and bases are part of the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases.

According to this theory, the species that donates a hydrogen cation or proton in a reaction is a conjugate acid, while the remaining portion or the one that accepts a proton or hydrogen is the conjugate base.

The conjugate base may be recognised as an anion.

Conjugated base of weak acid is worked as strong base.

CH3- + H+→CH4 (W.A)CN-+H+→HCNNH2-+H+→NH3HS-+H+ →H2S (S.A)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
