Detailed Solution
I)Due to protonation of amine, substituted ammonium cation is formed;Thus if solvation due to H-bonding is the only criteria, the basic strength must be RNH2 >R2NH > R3NII) If +I effect of alkyl group is the only criteria, the basic strength must be R3N > R2NH > RNH2 R = -CH3 gp, there is no steric hindrance to hydrogen bonding . The basic strength will be (CH3)2NH (II)> CH3NH2 (I) > (CH3)3N (III)pkb of III > I > II
