Give one chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds.
Aniline and N — methlyaniline.
Account for the following:
Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate ferric hydroxide.
Due to the +I effect of -CH3 group, methylamine is more basic than water. therefore, in water methylamine produces OH- ions by accepting H+ ions form water.
Methyl amine is a base and dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions.
Arrange the following:
In decreasing order of the pKb values C2H5NH2, C6H5 NHCH3, (C2H5)2NH and C6H5NH2.
Arrange the following:
In decreasing order of basic strength:
C6H5NH2, C6HsN(CH3)2, (C2H5)2NH and CH3NH2
