    2-butanamine was added to the solution of sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid. Gas liberated in this reaction is

    A)  \[{{N}_{3}}\]                                    

    B)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[{{O}_{2}}\]                                    

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     2-butanamine reacts with the solution of sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid to form alcohol and evolve nitrogen.                                 \[NaN{{O}_{2}}+HCl\xrightarrow{{}}NaCl+\underset{nitrous\text{ }acid}{\mathop{HN{{O}_{2}}}}\,\] \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  2-butanamine \\  \left( primary\text{ }amine \right) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}}}\, \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{3}}+HN{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH  \\  2-bu\tan ol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH-C}}\,{{H}_{3}}+{{N}_{2}}\uparrow +{{H}_{2}}O\]
