Question

Given below are two statements Statement I: Primary aliphatic amines react with HNO2HNO_2 to give unstable diazonium salts. Statement II: Primary aromatic amines react with HNO2HNO_2 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

A

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

B

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

C

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

D

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Step-by-Step Solution

Primary aliphatic amines react with nitrous acid (HNO2HNO_2) to form highly unstable aliphatic diazonium salts, which decompose to form alcohols and nitrogen gas. Primary aromatic amines react with HNO2HNO_2 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.

Exam Context & Concepts Covered

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.
