Question

Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not why

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason to this phenomenon can be attributed to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds .

Explanation:

Ethylamine when added to water forms intermolecular H−bonds with water. And therefore it is soluble in water. But aniline does not form H−bond with water to a very large extent due to the presence of a large hydrophobic −C6H5 group. Hence, aniline is insoluble in water.

Answer 2

$\huge\textcolor{green}{\texttt{Answer :-}}$

Ethylamine dissolves in water(soluble) due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

However, because of large hydrophobic part (i.e., hydrocarbon part) of aniline, the extent of hydrogen bonding is less and therefore, aniline is insoluble in wate
