Question

A highly volatile carbon compound (C2H7N) which give carbyl amine reaction and is soluble in hydrochloric acid and the solution on treatment with sodium nitrile and HCl gives off nitrogen leaving behind a solution which has an alcoholic smell. The compound is (A) C2H5NH2 (B) CH3NHCH3 (C) Both A and B (D) None of these

The given compound is a 1° amine as it gives a positive carbylamine test. Thus it is ethylamine or C2H5NH2 C2H5NH2 +HNO2 → C2H5OH+H2O+N2

Q. A highly volatile carbon compound $(C_{2} H_{7} N)$ which give carbyl amine reaction and is soluble in hydrochloric acid and the solution on treatment with sodium nitrile and $H Cl$ gives off nitrogen leaving behind a solution which has an alcoholic smell. The compound is

$C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2}$

$C H_{3} N H C H_{3}$

Both A and B

None of these

The given compound is a $1^{\circ}$ amine as it gives a positive carbylamine test. Thus it is ethylamine or $C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2}$
$C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2} + H N O_{2} \to C_{2} H_{5} O H + H_{2} O + N_{2}$
