Q4 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 1) · Chemistry
The correct order in aqueous medium of basic strength in case of methyl substituted amines is:
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
In aqueous medium basic strength is dependent on electron density on nitrogen as well as solvation of cation formed after accepting . In protic solvent like water, the order of basic strength is
.
This happens beacuse in case of there will be optimum (+I) and solvation while in has more significant hydration than .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
