- Ammonia, NH3, is also a weak base with Kp = 1.8x105. Which of the following is the best explanation for why dimethylamine is a stronger base than ammonia? The question as stated is incorrect, ammonia is a stronger base than dimethylamine because of the bigger lone pair of electrons on the N of ammonia compared to the N on dimethylamine. The hydrogens on ammonia are more electronegative than the methyl groups on dimethylamine, making ammonia a weaker base than dimethylamine. The two methyl groups on dimethylamine are more electronegative than the hydrogens on ammonia and make dimethylamine a stronger base. The two methyl groups on dimethylamine that replace hydrogens on ammonia are electron rich and donate electron density to the N making dimethylamine a stronger base.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation showing how the HPO2-4 ion of sodium hydrogen phosphate Na2HPO4 can be a both conjugated acid and conjugated base.arrow_forwardConsider the following data on some weak acids and weak bases: base acid Κα a Ко name formula name formula hydrofluoric acid 4 HF 6.8 × 10 pyridine CH&N 1.7x10 acetic acid HCH3CO2 1.8 × 10¯¯ methylamine CH3NH2 4.4 × 10¯ -4 Use this data to rank the following solutions in order of increasing pH.
