    Aniline is a weaker base than cyclohexylamine. Assign reason.

    Answer:

                    In aniline, the lone electron pair on the nitrogen atom is involved in conjugation with the pi-electrons of the ring. Therefore, nitrogen atom becomes positively charged or electron deficient and is not in a position to donate theelectron pair to the acid so easily compared to cyclohexylamine in which there is no such conjugation. Thus, aniline isa weaker base than cyclohexylamine.
