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

∙ 11y agoBecause Methyl amine has a bigger Kb value (4.4 x 10^-4) than ammonia (1.8 x 10^-5). The Kb value is the base dissociation constant, so with a bigger base dissociation constant, Methyl amine is more basic --> forms more OH- in solution.

Is ammonia a strong acid or a strong base?
Ammonia is a weak basic (alkaline) with a pH of 11.5. Ammonia is weak because it only partially ionizes.
Is ammonium Base?
No. Ammonia is a base. The ammonium ion is weakly acidic.
Which is a stronger base Cl- or F-?
F is the stronger base because it is bigger than Cl
Why do Solution of ammonia turns red litmus paper blue?
Ammonia is a base so it turns red litmus paper blue.
What happens to red litmus paper when it touches a household cleaner that has ammonia?
I believe it turns blue. Ammonia is a base, so whatever color red litmus paper turns when it's in contact with a base!
Dimethyl amine is stronger base than methyl amine?
How am I suppose to know huh
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-
Which is a stronger base Ammonia or sodium hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is a stronger base than Ammonia
Which stronger base piperidine or diethyl amine?
piperidine
Is ammonia or hydroxide a stronger acid?
Neither is an acid. Both are bases, hydroxide is the stronger base.
Is ammonia a stronger base than water?
Yes. Ammonia has a pKb of 4.75. Water has a pKb of 13.995.
What is the conjugate base of CH4?
The conjugate base of methane (CH4) is the methyl carbanion (CH3-). Because methane is an extremely weak acid, the methyl carbanion is an EXTREMELY STRONG BASE. Compounds like methyl lithium (CH3Li) are, in fact, considered organometallic superbases and will violently deprotonate even the weakest acids (such as water and ammonia).
What is stronger nitric acid or ammonia?
There is no real basis for comparison but nitric acid is a strong acid and ammonia is a weak base.
Is CH3NH2 a base?
It is under the definition of a Lewis base. Amines are usually considered weak bases, but methylamine is highly nucleophilic. It is a derivative of ammonia with a methyl group replacing a hydrogen atom. Ammonia is also highly basic.
Why cyclohexyl amine is stronger than aniline?
in the case of aniline, the lone pair on nitrogen is involved in resonance with the benzene ring, hence its basicity decreases. no such resonance is seen in cyclohexyl amine, and the lone pair is available to abstract protons and it is stronger base than aniline.
Is H2N-CH3 a base or acid?
"Methylamine is a good nucleophile as it is highly basic and unhindered, although, as an amine it is considered a weak base. Its use in organic chemistry is pervasive. Some reactions involving simple reagents include: with phosgene to methyl isocyanate, with carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide to the sodium methyldithiocarbamate, with chloroform and base to methyl isocyanide and with ethylene oxide tomethylethanolamines."
Is CH3CH2CH2NH2 a base or acid?
Saturated Hydrocarbons are neither acids nor bases
