Q. A compound $(X)$ with molecular formula $C_3H_9N$ reacts with $C_6H_5SO_2Cl$ to give a solid which is insoluble in alkali. $(X)$ is

Amines

Solution:

Since the compound reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride to give a product which is insoluble in alkali, it shows there is no $H$ attached to $N$ in the product. Hence, the compound $X$ is a secondary amine.
