Question

Assertion: N-Ethylbenzene sulphonamide is soluble in alkali.

Reason: Hydrogen attached to nitrogen in sulphonamide is strongly acidic.

विकल्प

• Both assertion and reason are wrong.

• Both assertion and reason are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.

• Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

• Both assertion and reason are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.

Answer 1

Both assertion and reason are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{..........................}\ce{Na+}\\
\ce{C2H5 - N - SO2C6H5 + NaOH -> C2H5 -\underset{Souble salt}{N - SO2}C6H5 + H2O}\\
|\phantom{..............................................}\\
\ce{\underset{Ethylbezene sulphonamide}{H}\phantom{.............................................}}
\end{array}\]

Ethylbenzene sulphonamide is soluble in alkali because it has acidic hydrogen.
