8. Which compound does not give a positive result in the Lassaigne`s test for nitrogen? a. Aniline b. Glycerine c. Benzamide d. Urea

Answer»

In Lassaigne's test, the ORGANIC compound is fused with sodium.  Carbon and nitrogen present in the organic compound gives sodium CYANIDE (NACN).  This is further used in the test for nitrogen. Hydrazine (H2 N−NH2 )do not contain carbon. It cannot form NaCN on fusion with sodium. Hence, hydrazine cannot give Lassaigne's test for nitrogen.
