Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Explanation : aniline is more basic than acetamide because in acetamide, lone pair of nitrogen is delocalized to more electronegative element oxygen.
In Aniline lone pair of nitrogen delocalized over benzene ring.
In Aniline lone pair of nitrogen delocalized over benzene ring.
