  1. A \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}\)
  2. B \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{b}}\) order: \( \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2 \) > \( \left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N} \) > \( \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{NH}_2 \) > \( \left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{NH} \) Highest \( \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{b}} \): \( \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2 \)
