Aniline can be distinguished from methyl amine by its reaction with
Options
- Ap-toluene sulphonyl chloride/KOH
- B(i)   NaNO 2 /HCl,   0-5°C (ii)   alkaline   β-naphthol
- CSn/HCl
- DAcetyl chloride
Correct answer
B. (i)   NaNO 2 /HCl,   0-5°C (ii)   alkaline   β-naphthol
Step-by-step solution
Methyl amine when reacts with N a N O 2 and HCl gives N 2 , while aniline gives diazonium salt. Diazonium salt so formed give red colour dye with alkaline β naphthol. Methyl amine however does not produce dye. So these two can be distinguished by using these reagents.
