Question
Given below are two statements Statement I: Primary aliphatic amines react with to give unstable diazonium salts. Statement II: Primary aromatic amines react with to form diazonium salts which are stable even above 300 K. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Primary aliphatic amines react with nitrous acid () to form highly unstable aliphatic diazonium salts, which decompose to form alcohols and nitrogen gas. Primary aromatic amines react with to form benzene diazonium salts, which are stable only at low temperatures (0-5°C or 273-278 K). They are not stable above 300 K. Thus, Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
This question aligns with the NEET CHEMISTRY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from General. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
