Statement I: Primary aliphatic amines react with HNO to give unstable diazonium salts.Statement II: Primary aromatic amines react with HNO to form diazonium salts which are stable even above Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
Statement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct.
To solve this problem, let's analyze each statement separately:Statement I: Primary aliphatic amines react with to give unstable diazonium salts.⢠Primary aliphatic amines react with nitrous acid to form aliphatic diazonium salts.⢠These aliphatic diazonium salts are indeed unstable and decompose to form alcohols, nitrogen gas, and other products.⢠Therefore, Statement I is correct.Statement II: Primary aromatic amines react with to form diazonium salts which are stable even above ⢠Primary aromatic amines, such as aniline, react with nitrous acid to form aromatic diazonium salts.⢠These aromatic diazonium salts are stable at low temperatures (around 273 K) but decompose at higher temperatures.⢠They are not stable above 300 K, as they tend to decompose to form phenols and other products.⢠Therefore, Statement II is incorrect.Analyzing the options:⢠Option 1: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. (Incorrect)⢠Option 2: Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. (Incorrect)⢠Option 3: Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect. (Correct)⢠Option 4: Statement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct. (Incorrect)Therefore, the correct option is Option 3.
