Give a chemical test to distinguish between ethylamine and aniline. |
|
Answer» Solution :The two compounds can be DISTINGUISHED by performing `NaNO_(2)//HCL` test. Ethylamine on treatment with `NaNO_(2)//HCl` evolves `N_(2)` gas and an alcohol is formed. ANILINE on treatment with `NaNO_(2)//HCl` at 273-278 K gives no NITROGEN gas and a diazonium salt is formed. |
