Q. p-chloro aniline and anilinium hydrogen chloride can be distinguished by
A) Sandmeyer reaction
B) Carbylamines reaction
C) Hinsberg’s reaction
D) $AgNO_{3}$
Explanation
(d)
Anilinium hydrogen chloride ($C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}.HCI$) gives white precipitate. With $AgNO_{3}$ solution as it gives $CI^{-}$ ion, p-chloro aniline has CI atom attached directly to the nucleus, hence cannot be ionised.
