Which of the following is associated with decrease in pKb value of amines?(a) Increase in acidic strength(b) Increase in basic strength(c) Better proton donation(d) Better electron acceptorI have been asked this question during an interview.The above asked question is from Amines Chemical Reactions topic in section Amines of Chemistry – Class 12 |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (b) INCREASE in basic strength Easy explanation: The basic strength of amines is expressed in terms of dissociation constant Kb. GREATER the Kb value, stronger the base. It is more COMMONLY expressed as pKb=-logKb. Hence smaller the value of pKb, more is the basic strength of the AMINE. |
