The correct order in aqueous medium of basic strength in case of methyl substituted amines is:

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
AMe2NH>MeNH2>Me3N>NH3

Step-by-step explanation

In aqueous medium basic strength is dependent on electron density on nitrogen as well as solvation of cation formed after accepting H+. In protic solvent like water, the order of basic strength is

Me2NH>MeNH2>Me3N>NH3.

This happens beacuse in case of Me2NH there will be optimum (+I) and solvation while in MeNH2 has more significant hydration than Me3N.
