The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following compound gives yellow oily liquid nitrosamine when react with nitrous acid?", we will analyze each option to determine which compound is a secondary amine, as only secondary amines react with nitrous acid to form nitrosamines. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - Nitrous acid (HNO2) reacts differently with primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. - Primary amines yield nitrogen gas (N2) and alcohol. - Secondary amines yield nitrosamines, which are yellow oily liquids, and water. - Tertiary amines yield colorless ammonium cations. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We will check each compound provided in the options to identify whether they are primary, secondary, or tertiary amines. 3. **Option A**: - The compound is CaH2NH2 (hydrazine). - This is a primary amine because it is attached to a primary carbon. - Reaction with HNO2 will yield alcohol and nitrogen gas, not nitrosamine. - **Conclusion**: Not the answer. 4. **Option B**: - The compound is NH(CH3)C6H5 (aniline derivative). - This is a secondary amine because it is attached to two carbon groups (one from the benzene ring and one from the methyl group). - Reaction with HNO2 will yield nitrosamine (yellow oily liquid) and water. - **Conclusion**: This is the correct answer. 5. **Option C**: - The compound is N(C6H5)2 (diphenylamine). - This is a tertiary amine because it is attached to three carbon groups (two from the phenyl rings). - Reaction with HNO2 will yield a colorless ammonium cation. - **Conclusion**: Not the answer. 6. **Option D**: - The compound is CH2NH2 (benzylamine). - This is a primary amine because it is attached to a primary carbon. - Reaction with HNO2 will yield alcohol and nitrogen gas, not nitrosamine. - **Conclusion**: Not the answer. ### Final Answer: The compound that gives a yellow oily liquid nitrosamine when reacted with nitrous acid is **Option B**. ---
