प्रश्न
Why is benzene diazonium chloride not stored and is used immediately after its preparation?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The reaction of aniline with nitrous acid at 273 - 278 K produces benzene diazonium chloride. The reaction of sodium nitrite with hydrochloric acid produces nitrous acid in the reaction mixture. Diazotisation is the process of converting primary aromatic amines into diazonium salts. Because of its instability, the diazonium salt is generally not used immediately after preparation.
The crystalline solid benzene diazonium chloride is colorless.
It is easily soluble in water and stable at room temperature but it reacts with water when warmed.
In the dry state, it decomposes easily.

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Benzenediazonium salt is prepared by the reaction of aniline with nitrous acid at 273-278 K. It decomposes easily in the dry state.
Statement II: Insertion of iodine into the benzene ring is difficult and hence, iodobenzene is prepared through the reaction of benzenediazonium salt with KI.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
