The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Aniline hydrogen sulfate on heating forms a mixture of o- and p-amino sulfonic acid." - Aniline hydrogen sulfate (C6H5NH3^+ HSO4^-) can be heated to produce aniline (C6H5NH2) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). - When aniline undergoes sulfonation (reaction with sulfuric acid), it can lead to the formation of both ortho (o-) and para (p-) amino sulfonic acid due to the presence of the amino group (NH2) which is an ortho/para directing group. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "The sulfonic acid is an electron withdrawing group." - The sulfonic acid group (SO3H) is indeed an electron-withdrawing group. This means that it decreases the electron density of the aromatic ring. - However, in the context of the assertion, the amino group (NH2) is the one that is influencing the positions where sulfonation occurs. The NH2 group is an electron-donating group, which increases the electron density at the ortho and para positions, making them more reactive towards electrophilic substitution. ### Step 3: Conclusion - The assertion is correct because heating aniline hydrogen sulfate does lead to the formation of a mixture of ortho and para amino sulfonic acids. - The reason is also true, as the sulfonic acid group is indeed an electron-withdrawing group. However, it does not correctly explain the assertion because the amino group (NH2) is responsible for directing the sulfonation to the ortho and para positions. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. Therefore, the answer is: **Option B: Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.** ---
