Which among the following are the correct statements?Statement 1: Ethylamine is soluble in water, whereas aniline is not.Statement 2: Ethyl amine forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Ethylamine when added to water forms intermolecular H−bonds with water.
And therefore it is soluble in water. But aniline does not form H−bond with water to due to the presence of a large hydrophobic C6H5 ​ group.
Hence,aniline is insoluble in water.

Final Answer:

Both the statements are correct.
