Base activity depends on the availability of the lone pair on the nitrogen for protonation. With two phenyl groups also on the nitrogen it is difficult physically for the hydrogen to access the lone pair, and the lone pair is also conjugated with the pi systems of the two benzene rings, reducing its density, meaning that it is less available to be protonated.
What else can I help you with?
Is ethyl amine astrong electrolyte?
Yes, propylamine has a weak base nature.
Is tributyl amine is basic?
Yes, tributylamine is a weak base due to the presence of the amine group that can accept protons. It is commonly used as a base in organic chemistry reactions.
How the buffer solution of methyl amine and methyl amine ion work?
A buffer solution of methyl amine (a weak base) and its conjugate acid, methyl amine ion (methylammonium ion), maintains a stable pH by resisting changes when small amounts of acid or base are added. When an acid is introduced, the methyl amine can neutralize it by accepting protons (H⁺), forming more methylammonium ions. Conversely, if a base is added, the methylammonium ions can donate protons to restore equilibrium. This equilibrium between the weak base and its conjugate acid allows the solution to effectively stabilize pH changes.
Is calcium sulphate a weak base?

How do you generate a free amine from the corresponding ammonium salt using an ion exchange resin?
A process to generate a free amine from the corresponding ammonium salt using an ion exchange resin, involves the treating an anipn exchange resin containing a weak base group in a catalytically inactive salt form and a strong base group. This would comprise of ion exchange resins with aqueous solution containing ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride for sufficient time to convert the weak base to their catalytically active free amine form, while maintainin strong base groups.
What type of acid is ch3nh2?
Methyl amine in not an acid, but a (weak) base, pKb=3.36. It is comparable with the even weaker ammonia, NH3, pKb=4.76: CH3NH2 + H2O <<--> CH3NH3+ + OH-
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
Is C5H5N a base or acid?
C5H5N is a weak base. It can accept a proton (H+) to form the conjugate acid C5H5NH+.
Weak base means?
A weak base is any base that reacts with water (accepts H+ ions) to a very small extent, usually less than 5 - 10%.
