Ammonia, NH3, is also a weak base with K, = 1.8x10-5. Which of the following is the best explanation for why triethylamine is a stronger base than ammonia? O The three ethyl groups on triethylamine are more electronegative than the hydrogens on ammonia and make triethylamine a stronger base. The hydrogens on ammonia are more electronegative than the ethyl groups on triethylamine, making ammonia a weaker base than triethylamine. The three ethyl groups on triethylamine that replace hydrogens on ammonia are electron rich and donate electron density to the N making triethylamine a stronger base. The question as stated is incorrect, ammonia is a stronger base than triethylamine because of the bigger lone pair of electrons on the N of ammonia compared to the N on triethylamine.

78) Why are primary alcohols more acidic than tertiary alcohols, in general? Because tertiary alcohols have less acidic hydrogens. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which create more effective charge separation between oxygen and hydrogen atom, making it more acidic. Because primary alcohols are more polar than tertiary alcohols. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which decrease electron density on oxygen, making it more susceptible for H+ to depart from the structure.
