JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3g2083

Select the correct statement(s).

  1. AIn aqueous solution is a stronger base than
  2. BIn the gas phase is a stronger base than
  3. CAniline is a stronger base than methylamine in aqueous solution
  4. DPyrrole is a stronger base than pyridine

Answer: A, B

A is true (aqueous order 2 degree > 1 degree > 3 degree). B is true (gas phase 3 degree > 2 degree > 1 degree, no solvation). C is false: aniline pKaH 4.6, methylamine 10.6. D is false: pyrrole's lone pair is part of the aromatic sextet.
