Choose the correct colour of the product for the following reaction.
Options
- AYellow
- BWhite
- CRed
- DBlue
Correct answer
C. Red
Step-by-step solution
The azo products obtained have an extended conjugate system having both the aromatic rings joined through the –N=N– bond. These compounds are often coloured and are used as dyes. The given diazonium salt couples with 1-naphthylamine to form a red azo-dye. This is an example of electrophilic substitution reaction.
