Question

The strongest base in aqueous solution among the following amines is (A) N, N-Diethylethanamine (B) N-Ethylethanamine (C) N-Methylmethanamine (D) Ethanamine

In aqueous solution, if the size of amine is Small then the no. of H 2 O molecules attracted Wo the lone pair of N is move and so the lone pair donating tendency will be less, Thus N-N-diethylethanamine, being the most bulky amine, thus will behave the strongest base in aqueous solution.

Q. The strongest base in aqueous solution among the following amines is

$N, N$ -Diethylethanamine

$N$ -Ethylethanamine

$N$ -Methylmethanamine

Ethanamine

Phenylmethanamine

In aqueous solution, if the size of amine is Small then the no. of $H_{2} O$ molecules attracted Wo the lone pair of $N$ is move and so the lone pair donating tendency will be less, Thus $N - N$ -diethylethanamine, being the most bulky amine, thus will behave the strongest base in aqueous solution.
