(b) Order of basic strenght

C2H5NH< (C2H5)2NH < (C2H5)3N

(c) C6H− NH2 (Primary amines) and C6H− NH − CH3 (secondary amines) can be distinguished by Hinsberg's test. In this test amines are allowed to react with Hinsberg's reagent, benzeneesulphonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl). Primary amines reacts with this reagent to form N-alkylbenzene sulphonyl amide which is soluble in alkali but secondary amines gives sulphonamide which is insoluble in alkali
