Question

Write balanced chemical equations for the action of dilute nitrous acid on ethylamine.

Answer 1

Solution:-

The action of dilute nitrous acid on ethylamine produces ethanol with nitrogen gas and water.

$\underset{\left(\text{Ethylamine}\right)}{C_2{H}_5-N{H}_2}+\underset{\left(\text{Dil.}\right)}{HN{O}_2}⟶\underset{\left(\text{Ethanol}\right)}{C_2{H}_5-OH}+N_2+H_{2}O$
