Question
Give reasons for the following observation:
pKb of aniline is lower than the m-nitroaniline.

Solution
pKb of aniline is lower than the m-nitro aniline.The basic strength of aniline is more than m-nitroaniline. pKb value is inversely proportional to basic strength. The presence of an Electron withdrawing group decreases basic strength.
