Q 1 :    

A compound (x) with molar mass 108 g mol-1 undergoes acetylation to give product with molar mass 192 g mol-1. The number of amino groups in the compound (x) is ______.                       [2024]



(2)

If there is one amino group in an organic compound, then difference between the organic compound and the product after acetylation is of COCH3, which corresponds to a mass difference of 42 gmol-1.

Mass difference between acetylation product and the given organic compound is (192 - 108) gmol-1 = 84 gmol-1. This corresponds to 2 amino groups in the compound.
