Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main product when an amine reacts with nitrous acid?
Correct Answer: Diazonium salt
  • Step 1: Identify the amine, which is a compound containing a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen atoms or carbon chains.
  • Step 2: Understand that nitrous acid (HNO2) is a weak acid that can react with amines.
  • Step 3: When the amine reacts with nitrous acid, it forms a nitrosamine intermediate.
  • Step 4: This intermediate then loses a water molecule (H2O) to form a diazonium salt.
  • Step 5: The diazonium salt is a compound that contains a positively charged nitrogen atom (N2+).
