Q. Assertion : Anilinium hydrogensulphate, on heating forms a mixture of ortho- and para-aminobenzene sulphonic acids.
Reason : $p$-Aminobenzene sulphonic acid exists as zwitter ion.

Amines

Solution:

Amine group is ortho and para- directing, hence it directs the $SO_{3}$ electrophile to ortho- and para- positions.
