Q. The correct order in aqueous medium of basic strength in case of methyl substituted amines is :
JEE Main
JEE Main 2023
Amines
A
$NH _3> Me _3 N > MeNH _2> Me _2 NH$
14%
B
$Me _2 NH > Me _3 N > MeNH _2> NH _3$
14%
C
$Me _2 NH > MeNH _2> Me _3 N > NH _3$
71%
D
$Me _3 N > Me _2 NH > MeNH _2> NH _3$
0%
Solution:
In aqueous medium basic strength is dependent on electron density on nitrogen as well as solvation of cation formed after accepting $H ^{+}$. After considering all these factors overall basic strength order is
$Me _2 NH > MeNH _2> Me _3 N > NH _3$
