Question

Give plausible explanation, ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not: Ethylamine when added to water forms intermolecular H - bonds with water. Hence, it is soluble in water. But aniline does not undergo H - bonding with water to a very large extent due to the presence of a large hydrophobic - C6H5 group.

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
