Compound that will give positive Lassaigne's test for both nitrogen and halogen is
Options
- AN 2 H 4 · HCl
- BCH 3 NH 2 . HCl
- CNH 4 Cl
- DNH 2 OH . HCl
Correct answer
B. CH 3 NH 2 . HCl
Step-by-step solution
Lassaigne's test gives presence of chlorine and nitrogen in organic compound by fusion of organic compound in the presence of sodium. The fused products in this case are: CH 3 NH 2 . HCl → fusion Na NaCN   and   NaCl NaCN gives +ve test for nitrogen and NaCl gives +ve test for halogen.
