Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Sulphanilic acid gives esterification test for carboxyl group.
Statement II: Sulphanilic acid gives red colour in Lassaigne’s test for extra element detection.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2023]
(3)
Sulphanilic acid has no –COOH group hence no esterification test for carboxyl group. But it has sulpher and nitrogen atom hence gives red colour in Lassigne’s test for extra element detection.
