Which of the following compounds is not expected to show Lassaignes' test for nitrogen ?
Options
- APropanenitrile

- CNitromethane
- DEthanamine
Correct answer
B. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride
Step-by-step solution
Lassaigne's test is used for the detection of nitrogen and given by all nitrogenous compound except diazo compounds. This test is shown only by the compounds containing C and N both hence hydroxyl amine hydrochloride ( H ₂ NOH . HCl ) will not perform this test.
