Q:

Order of basicity of amines

Answer

The order of basicity for primary, secondary and tertiary amines are:


Secondary > Primary > Tertiary > NH3


 


* Amines are basic in nature as they have lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Therefore, they have a strong tendency to donate this lone pair of electrons to electron acceptors.


* The stability of conjugate acids formed is dependent on the extent of H-bonding,and greater the number of H-atoms on N more stable is the conjugate acid.


* The conjugate acid of primary amine is the most stable with greater number (3) of H-bonds than > Secondary > tertiary. But primary amines are less basic than secondary as the electron density on the N atom is less and lone pair of electrons are not readily available for protonation.


* The two opposing factors i.e. the stability of conjugate acids formed and ease of availability of electrons for Protonation, balance each other in case of secondary amines and it is most basic.

A and B entered into a partnership with Rs.800 and Rs.1600 respectively. From 9th months onward they each decided to invest Rs.100 more on starting of each month. If total annual profit is Rs.7700 then find the profit share of A.

A) Rs.2550 B) Rs.3200
C) Rs.2650 D) Rs.2450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.2650

Explanation:

A : B = (800 × 8+ 900+ 1000+ 1100+ 1200): (1600 × 8+ 1700+ 1800+ 1900+ 2000)
A : B = 53 : 101
Profit of A ⇒ 7700 ×53/154 = 2650 Rs.

C) Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender. D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender.

Explanation:

Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender. Women are usually smaller than men, and that they turn out less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol.

 

For those reasons, most girls can have a higher BAC than the typical male if they each drink an identical quantity of alcohol.
