a) Only p-Nitroaniline
b) Only o-Nitroaniline
c) A mixture of ortho and para nitroaniline
d) A mixture of ortho, meta and para nitroaniline
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
Basicity of amines is related to their structure. Basic character of an amine depends
upon the ease of formation of the cation by accepting a proton from the acid. The
more stable the cation is relative to the amine, more basic is the amine.
11. Alkylamines are stronger bases than ammonia. Why?
12. Arrange the following compounds in the decreasing order of basic strength in
aqueous medium.
(CH3)2NH, NH3, CH3NH2, (CH3)3N
13. Which of the following compounds has higher pKb; Methylamine or Aniline?
Assertion and Reason Type
14. Assertion: Direct nitration of aniline yields significant amount of meta derivative
besides the ortho and para derivatives.
Reason: In the strongly acidic medium, aniline is protonated to form the anilinium
ion.
a) Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct
explanation of the assertion.
b) Both assertion and reason are correct statements, but reason is not the correct
explanation of the assertion.
c) Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong statement.
d) Assertion is wrong, but reason is correct statement.
15. Assertion: Butan-1-amine is more soluble in water than Butan-1-ol.
Reason: Alcohols are more polar than amines and form stronger intermolecular
hydrogen bonds than amines.

explanation of the assertion.
c) Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong statement.
d) Assertion is wrong, but reason is correct statement.
16. Assertion: In aqueous phase, secondary amines are more basic than primary amines.
Reason: Alkyl group is electron donating.
a) Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct
explanation of the assertion.
b) Both assertion and reason are correct statements, but reason is not the correct
explanation of the assertion.
c) Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong statement.
d) Assertion is wrong, but reason is correct statement.
