ethylamine is more basic than dimethylamine because the former one allows nitrogen atom to take reaction without any hindrance(prevention) of this reaction to occur.The later one has methyl groups on both sides of nitrogen atom,these groups hind nitrogen atom from reacting weth electrophiles.Remember nitrogen determine reactivity of amines.

dimethyl amine is more acidic than trimethylamine because due to steric affect electron is not easily available as we know that those bases are more basic which give electron easily ant that is the reason why di metheyl amine is more basic. thanx sangeen khan

Is a pH of 8 more basic or less than a pH of 6?

The higher the pH, the more basic, so a pH of 8 is more basic than a pH of 6.


Why methyl amine is a stronger base than ammonia?

Because methyl is an electron pumping group and It pumps electrons to Amine group to make it basic, But Ammonia has no influence from any basic groups. Therefore compared to Methyl-Amine, Ammonia is less basic


Why hydrazine more basic than ammonia?

It is not, ammonia is more basic (pkb=5) than hydrazine (pkb=6)


Why does n-propylamine have a higher boiling point than trimethylamine?

What determines the boiling point of a substance is how strongly the molecules of the substance attracts each other. With this in mind, and since nitrogen is a more electronegative molecule, the more exposed nitrogen is, the more polar the molecule would be and this polarity would cause slightly more ionic interactions between molecules, causing them to attract each other more. Trimethylamine has H-H interactions which are fairly weak and can be neglected. Since the structure of the molecule is like a pyramid, there is a dipole but compared to n-propylamine, this dipole is not as strong, since the nitrogen is more exposed. Basically, because n-propylamine can act as both a H-bond donor AND a H-bond acceptor (while trimethylamine only acts as a H-bond acceptor) this makes n-propylamine have a higher boiling point.
