Best Answer

aniline is more acidic because in aniline a electron withdrawing benzene is connected.electron withdrawing capacity of benzene is due to its delocalizing pi electrons cloud.due the action of benzene the presence of unshared pair of electron over nitrogen is somehow decreases.which increases its acidic nature.

But in case of ammonia there is no electron withdrawing group.so its unshared pair of electron remains undistrubed,which decreases its acidity and increases its basisity
