How does the proton acceptability of aniline compare to that of ammonia?
Options
- AAniline is more protonable than ammonia
- BAniline is less protonable than ammonia
- CAniline has the same proton acceptability as ammonia
- DProton acceptability depends on the pH of the solution
Correct answer
B. Aniline is less protonable than ammonia
Step-by-step solution
Due to resonance effects, aniline is less available for protonation compared to ammonia.
