Arrange the following compunds in increasing order of solubility in water:
`C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2), (C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NH, C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The extent of H-bonding and hence solubility in water decreases as the steric hindrance due to the size of alkyl/aryl groups increases. Thus, solubility increases in the order: `C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2) lt (C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NH lt C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)`.
