Question 3. Amongst the following, the strongest base in aqueous medium is .
(a) CH3NH2 (b) NCCH2NH2 (C) (CH3)2NH (d) C6H5NHCH3
Solution: (c) 2° amine is more basic than 1° amine, i.e., (CH3)2NH is more basic than CH3NH2. Due to -I effect of CN group, NC-CH2NH2 is less basic than CH3NH2. Further C6H5NHCH3 is less basic than both CH3NH2 and (CH3)2NH due to delocalization of lone pair of electrons present on the nitrogen atom into benzene ring. Hence, the decreasing order of amines is:
(CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > C6H5NHCH3 > NC – CH2NH2

Question 4. Which of the following is the weakest Bronsted base?
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-2

Question 22. Which of the following compound will not undergo azo coupling reaction with benzene diazonium chloride?
(a) Aniline (b) Phenol (c) Anisole (d) Nitrobenzene
Solution: (d) Diazonium cation is a weak electrophile and hence reacts with electron rich compounds containing electron donating groups such as -OH, -NH2 and -OCH3 groups and not with compounds containing electron withdrawing groups such as -NO2, etc.

Question 23. Which of the following compounds is the weakest Bronsted base?
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-23
Solution: (c) Amines (a, b) have stronger tendency to accept a proton and hence are stronger Bronsted bases than phenol (c) and alcohol (d). Since phenol is more acidic than alcohol, therefore, phenol (c) has the least tendency to accept a proton and hence it is the weakest Bronsted base.

Question 24. Among the following amines’ the strongest Bronsted base is
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-24
Solution: (d) Aniline is weaker base than NH3 due to delocalization of lone pair of electrons on the N-atom into the benzene ring. Pyrrole (c) is not at all basic because the lone pair of electrons on N-atom is donated towards aromatic sextet formation. Therefore, pyrrolidine (d) has a strong tendency to accept a proton and is hence, the strongest base.

Question 25. The correct decreasing order of basic strength of the following species is
H2O, NH3, OH , NH;
(a) NH3 > OH > NH3 > H2O (b) OH > NH2 > H2O > NH3
(c) NH3 > H2O > NH2 > OH (d) H2O > NH3 > OH > NH2
Solution: (a) NH2 > OH > NH3 > H2O. Due to higher electronegativity of O than N atom, O – H bond is more polar than N – H bond. Hence, O – H is more acidic in nature than N – H bond. Now, NH2 and OH have negative charge due to which they are more basic than NH3 and H20.

Question 26. Which of the following should be most volatile?
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-25
Solution: (b) 1° and 2° amines have higher boiling points due to intermolecular H-bonding (and hence less volatile than 3° amines and hydrocarbons of comparable molecular mass).

(a) Reaction of nitrile with LiAlH4
(b) Reaction of amide with LiAlH4 followed by treatment with water.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 38. Which is the role of HNO3 in the nitrating mixture used for nitration of
benzene?
Solution: HNO3 acts as a base in the nitrating mixture (HNO3 + H2SO4) and provides the electrophile.
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-39

Question 39. Why is NH2 group of aniline acetylated before carrying out nitration?
Solution: Direct nitration of aniline is not possible on account of oxidation of -NH2 group. However, nitration can be carried after protecting the -NH2 group by acetylation to give acetanilide which is then nitrated and finally hydrolysed to give o- and p-nitroanilines.
The acetyl group being electron withdrawing attracts the lone pair of electrons of the N-atom towards carbonyl group.
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-40
As a result, the activating effect -NH2 group is reduced i.e., the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is less available for donation to benzene ring by resonance. Therefore, activating effect of —NHCOCH3 group is less than that of —NH2 group.

Question 40. What is the product when C6H5CH2NH2 reacts with HN02?
Solution:
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-41

Question 41. What is the best reagent to convert nitrile to primary amine?

Solution:
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-44

Question 43. What is Hinsberg reagent?
Solution: Hinsberg reagent is benzene sulphonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl).

Question 44. Why is benzene diazonium chloride not stored and is used immediately after its preparation?
Solution: Benzene diazonium chloride is very unstable. Therefore, it cannot be stored and is used immediately after its preparation.

Question 45. Why does acetylation of -NH2 group of aniline reduce its activating effect?
Solution: Direct nitration of aniline is not possible on account of oxidation of -NH2 group. However, nitration can be carried after protecting the -NH2 group by acetylation to give acetanilide which is then nitrated and finally hydrolysed to give o- and p-nitroanilines.
The acetyl group being electron withdrawing attracts the lone pair of electrons of the N-atom towards carbonyl group.
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-45
As a result, the activating effect -NH2 group is reduced i.e., the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is less available for donation to benzene ring by resonance. Therefore, activating effect of —NHCOCH3 group is less than that of —NH2 group.

Question 46. Explain why is MeNH2 stronger base than MeOH?
Solution: Nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen, therefore, lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is readily available for donation. Hence, MeNH2 is more basic than MeOH.

Question 47. What is the role of pyridine in the acylation reaction of amines?
Solution: Pyridine and other bases are used to remove the side product i.e., HCl formed during reaction mixture.

Question 48. Under what reaction conditions (acidic/basic), the coupling reaction of aryl diazonium chloride with aniline is carried out?
Solution: Coupling reaction of aryl diazonium chloride with aniline is carried out in mild acidic condition (pH = 4-5).

Question 49. Predict the product of reaction of aniline with bromine in non-polar solvent such as CS2.
Solution:
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-46
In non-polar solvent (such as CS2) the activating effect of -NH2 group is reduced (due to resonance) and hence, mono substitution occurs only at o- and p-positions.

Question 50. Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of dipole moment: CH3CH2CH3, CH3CH2NH2, CH3CH2OH.
Solution: CH3CH2CH3 < CH3CH2NH2 < CH3CH2OH
Since O is more electronegative than N, therefore, dipole moment of ethyl alcohol is higher than that of ethyl amine. Propane however, has the least dipole moment since it is almost a non-polar molecule.

Question 51. What is the structure and IUPAC name of the compound, allyl amine?
Solution:
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-47

Question 52. Write down the IUPAC name of
NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines-48
Solution: N, N-dimethylbenzenamine.

Question 53. A compound Z with molecular formula C3H9N reacts with C6H5SO2Cl to give a solid, insoluble in alkali, identify Z.
Solution: Compound ‘Z’ with molecular formula C3H9N is an aliphatic amine which on treatment with C6H5SO2Cl gives a solid, insoluble in alkali. Therefore, the product does not have any replaceable hydrogen on the nitrogen atom. In other words, the amines (Z) must be secondary amine, i.e., Z is ethyl methylamine (C2H5NHCH3).

Question 61. A solution contains 1 g mol each of p-toluene diazonium chloride and p-nitrophenyl diazonium chloride. To this 1 g mol of alkaline solution of phenol is added. Predict the major product. Explain your answer.
Solution: This reaction is an example of electrophilic aromatic substitution. In alkaline medium, phenol forms phenoxide ion which is more electron rich than phenol and hence more reactive for electrophilic attack. The electrophile in this reaction is arydiazonium cation. p-Nitrophenyldiazonium cation is a stronger electrophile than p-toluene diazonium cation. Therefore, it couples preferentially with phenol.
