38. What is the role of HNO3 in the nitrating mixture used for nitration of benzene?

Solution:

The nitrating mixture is the mixture of a 1:1 solution of HNO3 and H2SO4 and is used for the nitration of organic compounds. It acts as a base and provides electrophile in the nitration process of benzene.

39. Why is the NH2 group of aniline acetylated before carrying out nitration?

To control the nitration reaction and tarry oxidation products and nitro derivatives products formation, the NH2 group of aniline is acetylated before carrying out nitration. Here, the major product is p-nitroaniline.

NCERT Exemplar Solutions of Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-10

Solution:

NCERT Exemplar Solutions of Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-11

43. What is Hinsberg reagent?

Solution:

Benzenesulphonyl chloride, or C6H5SOCl, is commonly known as Hinsberg’s reagent. Hinsberg’s reagent is be used to distinguish primary, secondary and tertiary amines.

44. Why is benzene diazonium chloride not stored and used immediately after its preparation?

Solution:

Benzene diazonium chloride is highly soluble in water at high temperature and is itself very stable at low temperature. It should be used immediately after its preparation as it is unstable.

45. Why does the acetylation of —NH2 group of aniline reduce its activating effect?

Solution:

The acetylation of —NH2 group of aniline reduces its activating effect because the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen of acetanilide interacts with the oxygen atom due to resonance.

46. Explain why MeNH2 is a stronger base than MeOH?

Solution:

MeNH2 is a stronger base than MeOH because of the lower electronegativity and the presence of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in MeNH2.

47. What is the role of pyridine in the acylation reaction of amines?

Solution:

The activating effect of –NH2 group can be controlled by protecting the -NH2 group by acetylation with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine and then carrying out the desired substitution followed by hydrolysis of the substituted amide to the substituted amine. Pyridine is a base that is used to get rid of HCl as a side product from the reaction.

48. Under what reaction conditions (acidic/basic), the coupling reaction of aryldiazonium chloride with aniline is carried out?

Solution:

This reaction is carried out in a mild basic medium. This is an electrophilic substitution reaction. Aryldiazonium chloride reacts with aniline to form a yellow dye of p-Aminoazobenzene.

49. Predict the product of the reaction of aniline with bromine in a non-polar solvent such as CS2.

Solution:

The products formed in the reaction of aniline with bromine in a non-polar solvent such as CS2 are 4-Bromoaniline and 2-Bromoaniline, where 4-Bromoaniline is the major product.

50. Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of dipole moment.

CH3CH2CH3, CH3CH2NH2, CH3CH2OH

Solution:

CH3CH2CH3 < CH3CH2NH2 < CH3CH2OH

The dipole moment of CH3CH2OH is greater than that of CH3CH2NH2. CH3CH2CH3 has the least dipole moment among the three given compounds because it is almost a non-polar molecule.
