Which effect dominates the order of basicity when comparing methyl-substituted and ethyl-substituted amines in aqueous solution?
Options
- AInductive effect
- BSteric hindrance
- CSolvation effect
- DElectronegativity of the substituent
Correct answer
C. Solvation effect
Step-by-step solution
In aqueous solution, the order of basicity between methyl-substituted and ethyl-substituted amines is primarily influenced by the solvation effect.
