In the hofmann-bromamide degradation reaction, the number of moles of NaOH and `Br_(2)` used per mole of amine produced are

Options

A. Four moles of NaOH and two moles of `Br_(2)`
B. Two moles of NaOH and two moles of `Br_(2)`
C. Four moles of NaOH and one moles of `Br_(2)`
D. One moles of NaOH and one moles of `Br_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction
`R-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-NH_(2)+Br_(2)+4NaOHrarrR-NH_(2)+Na_(2)CO_(3)+2NaBr+2H_(2)O`
1 mole bromine and 4 moles of NaOH are used for per mole of amine produced.
