Follow the sequence of chemical transformations to determine the structure of product B, then apply stoichiometry based on moles of the starting material to find its final mass.

Step 1: Reaction Sequence Analysis

Reaction 1: Reduction of 4-nitrotoluene using Sn, HCl / Δ$Sn, HCl / \Delta$ followed by pH neutralization converts the -NO₂$-NO_2$ group to an -NH₂$-NH_2$ group, forming 4-methylaniline (p-toluidine).

Step 2: Acetylation

Reaction 2 (forming A): The aniline group is protected by reaction with acetic anhydride (CH₃CO)₂O$(CH_3CO)_2O$, forming an acetanilide derivative (N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamide).

Step 3: Bromination

Reaction 3 (forming B): Bromination using Br₂ / AcOH$Br_2 / AcOH$. The -NHCOCH₃$-NHCOCH_3$ group is strongly activating and ortho-directing, while the -CH₃$-CH_3$ group is weakly activating and ortho-directing. The incoming -Br$-Br$ will substitute ortho to the -NHCOCH₃$-NHCOCH_3$ group due to dominant directing influence.

Step 4: Stoichiometric Calculation

Molar mass of 4-nitrotoluene (C₇H₇NO₂$C_7H_7NO_2$) = 137 g/mol$137 \text{ g/mol}$. Molar mass of product B (C₉H₁₀BrNO$C_9H_{10}BrNO$) = 228 g/mol$228 \text{ g/mol}$.

Moles of 4-nitrotoluene = 137 × 10⁻³ g137 g/mol = 0.001 mol$\frac{137 \times 10^{-3} \text{ g}}{137 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.001 \text{ mol}$.

Since the stoichiometry is 1:1 and yields are 100%, moles of B = 0.001 mol$0.001 \text{ mol}$. Mass of B = 0.001 mol × 228 g/mol = 0.228 g = 228 mg$0.001 \text{ mol} \times 228 \text{ g/mol} = 0.228 \text{ g} = 228 \text{ mg}$.

Pattern Recognition

When dealing with multi-step synthesis yield questions, immediately check the initial and final molar masses if the reaction achieves 100% completion. Often, 1 mole of reactant gives 1 mole of product.

Work backwards from the final product, cyclohexyl isocyanide.

Step 1: Carbylamine Reaction

The step (ii) CHCl₃, KOH (alc), Δ$(ii) \text{ } CHCl_3, KOH (alc), \Delta$ is the Carbylamine reaction. It converts a primary amine into an isocyanide. Therefore, the intermediate formed right before this step must be Cyclohexylamine (Cyclohexyl-NH₂$Cyclohexyl-NH_2$).

Step 2: Hoffmann Bromamide Degradation

The step (i) KOH, Br₂$(i) \text{ } KOH, Br_2$ is Hoffmann Bromamide Degradation. It converts an amide into a primary amine with one carbon less. Since the amine is Cyclohexylamine, the precursor 'Q' must be Cyclohexanecarboxamide.

Step 3: Finding 'P'

The reaction P NH₃, Δ Q$P \xrightarrow{NH_3, \Delta} Q$ converts a carboxylic acid into an amide. Therefore, 'P' must be Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid.

Statement I analysis: The target is to convert an ethyl side chain (propylbenzene) into an aniline derivative. Step 1: Treatment with acidic KMnO₄$KMnO_4$ oxidizes any alkyl side chain with at least one benzylic hydrogen fully into a carboxylic acid group (benzoic acid derivative). Step 2: Reaction with Ammonia (NH₃$NH_3$) converts the carboxylic acid into an amide. Step 3: Bromine and alkali (Br₂ + KOH$Br_2 + KOH$) trigger a Hoffmann bromamide degradation, chopping off the carbonyl carbon and leaving an amine (NH₂$NH_2$). This correctly yields the target structure. Statement I is True.

Step 1: Statement II Analysis

Statement II analysis: The goal is to convert p-toluidine to 3,5-dibromotoluene. Step 1: Bromine water (Br₂ + H₂O$Br_2 + H_2O$) performs electrophilic aromatic substitution on the highly activated ring due to the -NH₂$-NH_2$ group. It polybrominates the ortho and para positions relative to -NH₂$-NH_2$. Since para is blocked by the methyl group, it brominates both ortho positions, yielding 2,6-dibromo-4-methylaniline. Step 2: Diazotization with NaNO₂ + HCl$NaNO_2 + HCl$ at 0-5°C$0-5^{\circ}\text{C}$ converts the -NH₂$-NH_2$ group into a diazonium salt (-N₂^+Cl^-$-N_2^+Cl^-$). Step 3: Aqueous H₃PO₂$H_3PO_2$ (hypophosphorous acid) acts as a reducing agent, replacing the diazonium group with a Hydrogen atom. This successfully yields 3,5-dibromotoluene (since the numbering shifts). Statement II is True.

Pattern Recognition

Hoffmann bromamide degradation strictly steps down an amide to an amine by eliminating the carbonyl C$C$. Deamination of aniline derivatives via diazonium salt followed by reduction (H₃PO₂$H_3PO_2$ or EtOH) is the standard method for synthesizing specific meta-substituted benzenes where direct electrophilic meta-substitution fails.

Identify compound 'x': Molecular formula C₆H₇N$C_6H_7N$ indicates a high degree of unsaturation (Degree of Unsaturation = 6 - 7/2 + 1/2 + 1 = 4$6 - 7/2 + 1/2 + 1 = 4$), characteristic of a benzene ring. Given it dissolves in dilute mineral acid (due to protonation forming a salt), it's a basic amine. Since it produces an unpleasant-smelling compound 'y' with CHCl₃$CHCl_3$ and alc. KOH, it gives a positive carbylamine test, meaning 'x' is a primary amine. Thus, 'x' is Aniline (Ph-NH₂$Ph-NH_2$). Compound 'y' is phenyl isocyanide (Ph-NC$Ph-NC$).

Step 1: Identifying compound 'z'

Reaction with benzenesulphonyl chloride (Hinsberg's reagent): Aniline reacts with Ph-SO₂Cl$Ph-SO_2Cl$ to form N$N$-phenylbenzenesulfonamide, which is 'z'. Structure of 'z': Ph-NH-SO₂-Ph$Ph-NH-SO_2-Ph$. Because 'z' has an acidic proton on the nitrogen, it is soluble in alkali, confirming our deduction.

Step 2: Counting different "H" atoms

Let's map the types of Hydrogen atoms (chemically distinct environments by symmetry) on the molecule 'z' (Ph-NH-SO₂-Ph$Ph-NH-SO_2-Ph$):

• The single hydrogen attached to the Nitrogen (N-H$N-H$): 1 type.
• The first phenyl ring (from aniline) has symmetry down the 1,4-axis. It has ortho-H, meta-H, and para-H. That yields 3 distinct types of H.
• The second phenyl ring (from sulfonyl chloride) also has symmetry down its 1,4-axis. It has ortho-H, meta-H, and para-H. That yields 3 distinct types of H.

Total number of different H atoms = 1 + 3 + 3 = 7$1 + 3 + 3 = 7$.

Pattern Recognition

Whenever you see CHCl₃$CHCl_3$ + alc. KOH producing an foul smell, it's definitively the Carbylamine test marking a primary amine. Soluble in alkali after Hinsberg's reagent confirms it's a 1°$1^{\circ}$ amine.
