Which of the following reagents can be used to distinguish nitroethane and nitrobenzene ?

A

`Sn//HCl`

B

`Zn//NH_(4)Cl`

C

`LiAlH_(4)`

D

`Fe//HCl`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`LiAlH_(4)` reduces nitroethane to ethylamine and nitrobenzene to azobenzene.
`C_(2)H_(5)NO_(2)+6[H] overset(LiAlH_(4))(rarr)C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)+2H_(2)O overset(LiAlH_(4))(rarr) C_(6)H_(5)N = NC_(6)H_(5)+4H_(2)O`
