Answer

(3) [figure]

Solution

Hinsberg's reagent is benzenesulphonyl chloride, C6H5SO2Cl.

(3) Ethanamine is a primary amine:

C6H5SO2Cl + H2N-C2H5 C6H5SO2NH-C2H5 + HCl

∵ the H atom on N of N-ethylbenzenesulphonamide is strongly acidic (strong electron-withdrawing sulphonyl group) ⇒ the solid dissolves in alkali.

(2) N-Methylethanamine, a secondary amine, gives N,N-dialkylbenzenesulphonamide, which has no H on N ⇒ insoluble in alkali.

(4) Tertiary amine has no H on N ⇒ does not react with Hinsberg's reagent.

(1) Nitroethane is not an amine ⇒ no sulphonamide is formed.

∴ the compound is CH3-CH2-NH2.

The correct order of the basic strength of methyl substituted amines in aqueous solution is :

  1. (CH3)3N > (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2
  2. CH3NH2 > (CH3)2NH > (CH3)3N
  3. (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N
  4. (CH3)3N > CH3NH2 > (CH3)2NH

Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m-nitroaniline because

  1. in spite of substituents nitro group always goes to only m-position
  2. in electrophilic substitution reactions amino group is meta directive
  3. in absence of substituents nitro group always goes to m-position
  4. in acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion

The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is

  1. arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group
  2. arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridised
  3. arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring -electron system
  4. arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring -electron system.
