Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The given starting material is diazoaminobenzene (C6H5−N=N−NH−C6H5C_6H_5-N=N-NH-C_6H_5).

When diazoaminobenzene is treated with an acid catalyst (HCl) and excess aniline, and warmed to 40−45∘C40-45^\circ \text{C}, it undergoes a rearrangement reaction (or dissociation followed by coupling) to form pp-aminoazobenzene.

The reaction sequence is as follows:
1. Diazoaminobenzene reacts with HCl to form benzenediazonium chloride and aniline.
2. The benzenediazonium ion then couples with the excess aniline at the para position to yield pp-aminoazobenzene.
3. Cooling and adding acetic acid helps in precipitating the free base, pp-aminoazobenzene, which is a yellow dye (often called Aniline Yellow).

The structure of the yellow product (X), pp-aminoazobenzene, is C6H5−N=N−C6H4−NH2C_6H_5-N=N-C_6H_4-NH_2.

The molecular formula of pp-aminoazobenzene is C12H11N3C_{12}H_{11}N_3.

Let's calculate its molar mass:
Molar mass =(12×12)+(11×1)+(3×14)= (12 \times 12) + (11 \times 1) + (3 \times 14)
Molar mass =144+11+42=197 g mol−1= 144 + 11 + 42 = 197 \text{ g mol}^{-1}

The mass of nitrogen in one mole of the compound is 3×14=42 g3 \times 14 = 42 \text{ g}.

The percentage of nitrogen in the product is:
% N=42197×100≈21.32%\% \text{ N} = \dfrac{42}{197} \times 100 \approx 21.32\%

Rounding to the nearest integer, we get 2121.

Answer: 2121
