Question

why is methylamine soluble in water while benzenamine not​

Answer 1

Answer:

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. Hence, aniline is insoluble in water.
