Q.

X g of ethylamine is subjected to reaction with NaNO2/HCl followed by water; evolved dinitrogen gas which occupied 2.24 L volume at STP. X is ______ ×10-1 g.                 [2024]


Ans.

(45)

C2H5NH2→NaNO2+HClC2H5N2+

                    →H2OC2H5OH+N2

Moles of nitrogen

(nN2)=Volume at STP in L22.4=2.2422.4 mol=0.1 mol

From reaction it is clear that moles of ethylamine (nC2H5NH2)=nN2=0.1mol.

Mass of ethylamine = nC2H5NH2× molar mass of ethylamine

=0.1 mol×45 g mol-1=45×10-1 g
