Solutions

1. (C)

The general trend of Basicity of amines is in order- \[{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{ > }}{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{ > }}{{\rm{1}}^{\rm{o}}}\]

As (C) is an secondary amine, so it will be more basic than \[{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{N}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\] which is the primary amine. In \[{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{6}}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{CHN}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{3}}}\], delocalisation of lone pairs of electrons occurs on the n atom into the benzene ring. Also, due to the -I effect of the \[{\rm{CN}}\] group in (B), it is less basic than (C) 

Overall from the given options, (C) is the list basic amine. 

2. (A)

When an amine group \[{\rm{N}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\] is attached to a benzene ring, lone pairs of nitrogen electrons delocalize into the benzene ring and are no longer available for donation. As a result, they are the weakest base.

 Aniline

Thus, option (A) is correct.

3. (B) 

Primary aromatic amines would be able to give the most stable diazonium salt in the presence of nitrous acid.

The reaction is shown below.

Reaction of 4-methylaniline

4. (A)

Due to the availability of two hydrogen atoms, the intermolecular interaction is more pronounced in primary amines compared to secondary amines.

5. (B)

Since the lone pair of nitrogen in acetamide is delocalized to the more electronegative element oxygen, aniline is more basic than acetamide.

The nitrogen lone pair delocalized over the benzene ring in aniline.

6. (A)

A reaction of benzonitrile with one equivalent CH3MgBr followed by hydrolysis is shown below.

Hydrolysis of Benzonitrile

The compound formed other than amine in the product is a yellow liquid “P” and it gives the positive iodoform test.

7. (B)

The carius method involves heating an organic molecule with fuming nitric acid while silver nitrate is present.

As a reagent, lunar caustic \[\left( {{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right)\] is used to identify Cl, Br, and I ions respectively.

8. (C)

When primary amine combines with chloroform, poisonous isonitrile is produced. When isonitrile then reacts with \[{\rm{HCl}}/{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{3}}}{{\rm{O}}^{\rm{ + }}}{\rm{,}}\] primary amine and acid are produced.

Hence, A-primary amine, B-isonitrile compound and C-conc. HCl.

14. (D) 

After being treated with NH2NH2, N-ethyl phthalimide produces ethylamine. The Galbriel phatalimide manufacturing reaction ends with this stage.

15. (A)

A primary amine with one fewer carbon atom than the original amide is created by the \[{\rm{B}}{{\rm{r}}_{\rm{2}}}/{\rm{NaOH}}\] (Hoffman Hypobromide reagent), which produces the carbylamine test. There should be \[{\rm{ - CON}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}\] group in the amine that produces primary amine.

16. (C), (D)

Sandmeyer's reaction makes it simple to prepare chloro and bromo arenes. Simply warming the diazonium salt solution with aqueous KI solution yields iodoarenes.

The Balz-Schiemann reaction is used to synthesise fluoroarenes.

18. (A), (B)

Aniline is acetylated when it reacts with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine base. On treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid, the N-acetyl aniline formed is ortho para directing group, which guides the further reagent to attack on the para position and produce p-nitroaniline.

The reaction is shown below.

Reaction of Aniline

Thus, option (A) and (B) are correct.

19. (A), (C)

(A) Primary alkyl halides react with ammonia to give primary amines. So, option (A) is correct.

(B) Elimination process doesn’t occur with \[{\rm{aq}}{\rm{. KOH}}\], with \[{\rm{aq}}{\rm{. KOH}}\], hydrolysis process takes place. So, (B) is incorrect 

(C) Dehydrohalogenation i.e. elimination of \[{\rm{HCl}}\] occurs which produces alkene as product takes place with \[{\rm{alc}}{\rm{.KOH}}\] (C) is correct 

(D) In this reaction, aliphatic primary amines, on treatment with nitrous acid, produce primary alcohol as a product.

Therefore (D) is incorrect.

21. 3

One aliphatic or alicyclic amine is made using the Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. As a result, the amine that can be produced using the Gabriel phthalimide synthesis technique contains alpha -carbon.

Since aniline lacks alpha-C, the Gabriel reaction cannot be used to create it.

The remaining amines all have alpha-C in the appropriate location, making them capable of producing the Gabriel phthalimide reaction with ease.

22. 37.80

The structure of histamine is shown below.

Histidine

The chemical formula of Histamine is \[{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{5}}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{9}}}{{\rm{N}}_{\rm{3}}}.\]

So, the percentage by mass of N can be calculated by the formula,

\[\% {\rm{ by mass}} = \frac{{3 \times {\rm{Atomic~mass~ of~ N}}}}{{{\rm{9}} \times {\rm{Atomic~mass~of~H}} + {\rm{5}} \times {\rm{Atomic~mass~of~C}} + {\rm{3}} \times {\rm{Atomic~mass~of~N}}}} \times 100\]

Substitute all the known values,

\[\begin{array}{c}\% {\rm{ by mass}} = \frac{{3 \times {\rm{14}}}}{{{\rm{9}} \times {\rm{1}} + {\rm{5}} \times {\rm{12}} + {\rm{3}} \times 14}} \times 100\\ = \frac{{42}}{{111}} \times 100\\ = 37.84\% \end{array}\]
