1 mark questions

1. What is the correct name for a molecule that has two amino groups in opposing (para)
locations around a benzene ring?
a) Benzenediamine
b) Benzene-1,4-diamine
c) p-Aminoaniline
d) 4-Aminobenzenamine

2. What is the most suitable classification of the following amine?


a) Secondary amine
b) Dialkyl amine
c) Tertiary amine
d) Aromatic amine

3. Which of the following is a 2° amine?


a) CH3CH2NHCH3
b) (CH3)3N
c) (CH3CH2CH2)2NCH3
d) C6H5NH2

4. (C3H7)N(CH3)(C2H5) is not a ____ amine.


a) secondary
b) tertiary
c) aliphatic
d) mixed

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and
Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the
following four responses.
a. If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of
the Assertion.
b. If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of
the Assertion.
c. If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
d. If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

5. Assertion: Aromatic 1°amines can be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.


Reason: Aryl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution with anion formed by
phthalimide.

6. Assertion: Only a small amount of HCl is required in the reduction of nitro compounds
with iron scrap and HCl in the presence of steam.
Reason: FeCl2 formed gets hydrolysed to release HCl during the reaction.

7. Assertion: Acetanilide is less basic than aniline.


Reason: Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.

8. Assertion: Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.


Reason: –NH2 group of aniline reacts with AlCl3 (Lewis acid) to give acid-base
reaction.
