Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their basic strength in aqueous solutions:
CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, (CH3)3 N and NH3
With the increase in alkyl group, the +I effect will increase which will increase the ease of donation of lone pair electron .But in water one other factor is controlling the strength of basicity. Amine will accept a proton and from cation will be stabilised in water by salvation (by hydrogen bonding).better the salvation by hydrogen bonding higher will be the basic strength.
(CH3)2 NH > CH3 NH2 > (CH3)3 N > NH3
A 1.00 molar aqueous solution of trichloroacetic acid (CCl3COOH) is heated to its boiling point. The solution has the boiling point of 100.180C. Determine the van’t Hoff factor for trichloroacetic acid. (Kb for water = 0.512 kg mol-1)
