Why `C_(6)H_(5)N^(+)(CH_(3))_(3)OH ^(-)` a stronger base than `NH_(4)OH` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why \( C_6H_5N^+(CH_3)_3OH^- \) is a stronger base than \( NH_4OH \), we need to analyze the structure and electronic effects of both compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - \( C_6H_5N^+(CH_3)_3OH^- \) consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to three methyl groups and a phenyl group, with a positive charge on the nitrogen. The hydroxide ion \( OH^- \) is the counter ion. - \( NH_4OH \) consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms, with the hydroxide ion \( OH^- \) also present. ...
