The pKb values of ethanamine, N-methylaniline, N-ethylethaneamine and aniline are 3.29, 9.30, 3.00 and 9.38 respectively.
Thus among the given amines, aniline is the weakest base and has maximum pKb value.
Aliphatic amines ethanamine and N-methylaniline are more basic than aniline because in aniline, the lone pair on nitrogen is in resonance with benzene.
N-methylaniline is more basic than aniline because in N-methylaniline, the methyl group (an electron releasing group) increases the electron density on nitrogen.
