Equilibrium Ques 51

51. In $HS^{-}, I^{-}, RNH_2$ and $NH_3$, order of proton accepting tendency will be

[2001]

(a) $I^{-}>NH_3>RNH_2>HS^{-}$

(b) $HS^{-}>RNH_2>NH_3>I^{-}$

(c) $RNH_2>NH_3>HS^{-}>I^{-}$

(d) $NH_3>RNH_2>HS^{-}>I^{-}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 51.(c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Strong base has higher tendency to accept the proton. Increasing order of base and hence the order of accepting tendency of proton is

$ I^{-}<HS^{-}<NH_3<RNH_2 $
