Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The identification of the strong base from the given amine compounds and the reason is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

>

The pKa value is inversely related to the acidic strength of the compound.The stronger acid has a lower value of pKa and the weaker acid has a higher pKa value.

>

An acidic substance in a reaction donates a proton, while base in a reaction accepts a proton.

>

The elimination of a proton leads to the formation of a conjugate base. If the base accepts a proton the species formed is known as conjugate acid.
