1.

Arrange the following in increasing order of boiling point with explanation: C2H5OH, (CH3)2NH, C2H5NH2

Answer»

(CH3)2NH < C2H5NH2< C2H5OH, with increasing hydrogen bonding. 

2.

It is difficult to prepare pure amines by ammonolysis of alkylhalides. 

Answer»

The process of ammonolysis yields a mixture of primary, secondary, tertiary amines and quaternary salts. The separation of this amines is a very complicated process and difficult. Therefore it is difficult to prepare pure amines by ammonolysis of alkyl halides. 

3.

Benzenediazonium salt is more stable than primary aliphatic diazonium salt. Why?

Answer»

The stability of arenediazonium is due to the resonance of diazo group with benzene ring. 

4.

Write chemical equations for reaction of ethanolic NH3 with C2H5Cl. 

Answer»

C2H5Cl + NH3C2H5NH2 + HCl 

5.

Write the reactivity order of alkyl halide for ammonolysis. 

Answer»

 The order of reactivity is RI >RBr>RCl> RF.

6.

What is diazotization?

Answer»

The conversion of primary aromatic amines into diazonium salts in presence of nitrous acid at 273-278K is known as diazotisation.  

7.

Why benzenediazonium salt is stored at very low temperature? 

Answer»

This is because benzenediazonium salt is stable in cold but it decomposes easily in the dry state on little warming.
