Q. Ethyl amine reacts with nitrous acid to form
A) $C_{2}H_{5}OH$
B) $C_{2}H_{5}OH,\ N_{2},\ H_{2}O$
C) $C_{2}H_{5}N_{2}^{+}CI^{-}$
D) $C_{2}H_{5}NHOH,\ NH_{3}$
Explanation
(b)
Ethyl amine reacts with nitrous acid to give ethyl alcohol and nitrogen.
$C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2} + HNO_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}H_{5}OH + N_{2} + H_{2}O$
