CHAPTER AMINES PREVIOUS YEARS QUESTIONS.

Question 1.
Why is an alkylamine more basic than ammonia? (CBSE 2022)
Answer:
Due to electron releasing inductive effect (+1) of alkyl group, the electron density on the
nitrogen atom increases and thus, it can donate the lone pair of electrons more easily than
ammonia.
Q2. Arrange the following compounds in an increasing order of basic strengths in their
aqueous solutions : NH3, CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, (CH3)3N (CBSE 2022)
Answer:
Basicity order (due to stability of ammonium cation)
(CH3)2 NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3 N > NH3
Question 3.
Arrange the following compounds in an increasing order of their solubility in water :
C6H5NH2, (C2H5)2NH, C2HSNH2
Answer:
C6H5NH2 < (C2H5)2NH < C22H5NH2
Q4. Give a chemical test to distinguish between ethylamine and aniline. (CBSE 2021)
Answer:
Ethylamine and aniline :
By Azo dye test: It involves the reaction of any aromatic primary amine with
HNO2(NaNO2 + dil. HCl) at 273-278 K followed by treatment with an alkaline solution of 2-
naphthol when a brilliant yellow, orange or red coloured dye is obtained.

Q5.
Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their basic strength in aqueous solutions:
CH3NH2, (CH3)2 NH, (CH3)3N and NH3 (CBSE 2022)
Answer:
(CH3)2 NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3 N > NH3
Question 6.
Arrange the following in increasing order of their basic strength in aqueous solution:
CH3.NH2, (CH3)3N, (CH3)2NH (CBSE 2023)

1|Page
Answer:

Q7.
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of solubility in water :
C6H5NH2, (C2H5)2NH, C2H5NH2 CBSE 2020)
Answer:
C6H5NH2 < (C2H5)2NH < C2H5NH,
Question 8.
Arrange the following in increasing order of basic strength :
C6H5NH2, C6H5NHCH3, C6H5CH2NH2 (CBSE 2022)
Answer:
C6H5NH2 < C6H5NHCH3 < C6H5CH2NH2
Question 9.
Arrange the following in increasing order of basic strength :C 6H5NH2, C6H5NHCH3,
C6H5N(CH3)2 (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
C6H5N(CH3)2 > C6H5NHCH3 > C6H5NH2
Question 10.
Out of CH3—NH2 and (CH3)3N, which one has higher boiling point? (CBSE 2021)
Answer:
CH3—NH2 has higher boiling point than (CH3)3N.
Question 11.
Complete the following reaction equation : (CBSE 2021)
Answer:

Question 12.

Aniline, p-Nitroaniline and p-Toluidine
Answer:

Question 13.
Write the IUPAC name of the given compound: (2020)

2|Page
Answer:
2, 4, 6-Tribromoaniline
Question 14
Write IUPAC name of the following compound: (CH3CH2)2NCH3 (Delhi 2017)
Answer:
N-Ethyl-N-methylethanamine
Question 15.
Write the IUPAC name of the following compound: (Comptt. All India 2017)
CH3NHCH(CH3)2
Answer:
IUPAC name: N-Methylpropan-2-amine
Question 16.
Write the IUPAC name of the following compound: (Delhi 2017)
(CH3)2N-CH2CH3
Answer:
IUPAC name: N, N Dimethylamine
Question 17.
Write IUPAC name of the following compound : (Comptt. All India 2017)

Answer:
IUPAC name : N, N-Dimethylbutanamine.
Amines: Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen Class 12 Important Questions Short
Answer Type -I [SA – I]
Question 18.
Give the chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :
(i) Ethyl amine and Aniline
(ii) Aniline and Benzylamine (All India 2010)
Answer:
(i) Ethylamine and aniline :
By Azo dye test: It involves the reaction of any aromatic primary amine with
HNO2(NaNO2 + dil. HCl) at 273-278 K followed by treatment with an alkaline solution of 2-

3|Page
naphthol when a brilliant yellow, orange or red coloured dye is obtained.

(ii) Distinction between Aniline and Benzylamine :


By Nitrous acid test : Benzylamine reacts with HNO2 to form a diazonium salt which being
unstable even at low temperature, decomposes with evolution of N 2 gas

Question 19.
Identify A and B in each of the following processes : (All India 20100

Answer:

Question 20.
Give the chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :
(i) Methylamine and Dimethylamine
(ii) Aniline and N-methylaniline (All India 2010)
Answer:
(i) Methylamine and Dimethylamine :
By Carbylamine test: Methylamine being a primary amine gives this test but Dimethylamine

4|Page
being a secondary amine does not.

(ii) Aniline and N-methylaniline


By Carbylamine test : Aniline is a 1° aromatic amine while N-methylaniline is a secondary
aromatic amine. Therefore only 1° aromatic amine gives this test.

Question 21.
Describe the following giving the relevant chemical equation in each case :
(i) Carbylamine reaction
(ii) Hofmann’s bromamide reaction (All India 2012)
Answer:
(i) Carbylamine reaction : Aliphatic and aromatic primary amines on heating with
chloroform and ethanolic KOH form isocyanides or carbylamines which are foul smelling
substances. This reaction is known as carbylamines reaction.

(ii) Hofmann’s bromamide reaction : Primary amines can be prepared by treating an amide
with Br2 in an aqueous or alcoholic soln of NaOH.
