### Core Logic
Only primary (1^circ$1^\circ$) aliphatic and aromatic amines yield a positive carbylamine test (forming foul-smelling alkyl/aryl isocyanides).
- **A** is Aniline (primary aromatic amine) rightarrow$\rightarrow$ Positive
- **B** is Dimethylamine (secondary aliphatic amine) rightarrow$\rightarrow$ Negative
- **C** is Methylamine (primary aliphatic amine) rightarrow$\rightarrow$ Positive
- **D** is Trimethylamine (tertiary aliphatic amine) rightarrow$\rightarrow$ Negative
- **E** is N-Methylaniline (secondary aromatic amine) rightarrow$\rightarrow$ Negative
Thus, only A and C show a positive test.
### Pattern Recognition
Shortcut: Look directly for any amine with a plain -textNH_2$-\text{NH}_2$ functional group. Secondary (-textNH-$-\text{NH}-$) and tertiary (-textN-$-\text{N}-$) amines never react.

Q28jee_main_2025_08_april_eveningFunctional Group Analysis and Identification
An organic compound 'A' undergoes the following sequence of transformations:
text'A' xrightarrow[text(ii) H_3O^+]text(i) NaOH text'B' xrightarrow[text(ii) H_2SO_4, Delta]text(i) EtOH text'C'$$\text{'A'} \xrightarrow[\text{(ii) } H_3O^+]{\text{(i) } NaOH} \text{'B'} \xrightarrow[\text{(ii) } H_2SO_4, \Delta]{\text{(i) } EtOH} \text{'C'}$$
* 'A' shows a positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen and its molar mass is 121 text g mol^-1$121 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$.
* 'B' gives effervescence with aqueous textNaHCO_3$\text{NaHCO}_3$.
* 'C' gives a characteristic fruity smell.
Identify A, B, and C from the options below:
### Core Logic
Let's perform a step-by-step diagnostic analysis:
1. **Molar Mass & Nitrogen Test**: Compound 'A' has a nitrogen atom and a molar mass of 121 text g mol^-1$121 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$. Let's verify Benzamide (textC_6textH_5textCONH_2$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CONH}_2$):
textMass = (7 times 12) + (7 times 1) + 14 + 16 = 84 + 7 + 14 + 16 = 121 text g mol^-1$$\text{Mass} = (7 \times 12) + (7 \times 1) + 14 + 16 = 84 + 7 + 14 + 16 = 121 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$$
This matches perfectly.
2. **Alkaline Hydrolysis**: Hydrolysis of benzamide under basic conditions yields benzoic acid upon acidification:
textC_6textH_5textCONH_2 xrightarrow[H_3O^+]NaOH textC_6textH_5textCOOH (Compound B) + textNH_3$$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CONH}_2 \xrightarrow[H_3O^+]{NaOH} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOH (Compound B)} + \text{NH}_3$$
Benzoic acid reactively gives effervescence with textNaHCO_3$\text{NaHCO}_3$ due to the liberation of textCO_2$\text{CO}_2$ gas.
3. **Esterification**: Reaction of benzoic acid with ethanol in the presence of acid catalyst results in the creation of ethyl benzoate, an ester with a pleasant fruity smell:
textC_6textH_5textCOOH + textEtOH xrightarrowH_2SO_4, Delta textC_6textH_5textCOOEt (Compound C) + textH_2textO$$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOH} + \text{EtOH} \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4, \Delta} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOEt (Compound C)} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$$Esterification reaction mechanism diagram for Q28
### Pattern Recognition
"Fruity smell" is an absolute indicator for an ester product. "Effervescence with textNaHCO_3$\text{NaHCO}_3$" dictates a carboxylic acid intermediate. Basic hydrolysis converting an organo-nitrogen compound into an acid points directly to an amide or a nitrile—molar mass calculation establishes benzamide over benzonitrile (M = 103$M = 103$).

2) Aniline undergoing diazotization with NaNO_2/HCl$NaNO_{2}/HCl$ at cold temperatures (0-5^circC$0-5^{circ}C$) creates Benzene diazonium chloride (Ph-N_2^+Cl^-$Ph-N_{2}^{+}Cl^{-}$).

Q49jee_main_2025_28_jan_morningYield and Stoichiometric Calculations
Consider the following sequence of reactions :
The flowchart tracks a chemical conversion starting from chlorobenzene down to final compound B.
11.25 mg of chlorobenzene will produce mathrmx times 10^-1$\mathrm{x} \times 10^{-1}$ mg of product B.
(Consider the reactions result in complete conversion.)
[Given molar mass of C, H, O, N and Cl as 12, 1, 16, 14 and 35.5mathrmg\,mol^-1$35.5\mathrm{g\,mol}^{-1}$ respectively]
Numerical Answer.Answer: 93 to 93
Solution
### Core Logic
The reaction sequence details the functional conversion of chlorobenzene down to product B (aniline, with a molar mass of 93\,mathrmg\,mol^-1$93\,\mathrm{g\,mol}^{-1}$).
Following stoichiometric preservation:
textmoles of chlorobenzene = textmoles of Aniline (B)$$\text{moles of chlorobenzene} = \text{moles of Aniline (B)}$$
Molar mass of chlorobenzene (mathrmC_6mathrmH_5mathrmCl$\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{Cl}$) = 112.5\,mathrmg\,mol^-1$112.5\,\mathrm{g\,mol}^{-1}$.
The flowchart tracks a chemical conversion starting from chlorobenzene down to final compound B.textmoles = frac11.25 times 10^-3\,mathrmg112.5\,mathrmg\,mol^-1 = 10^-4\,mathrmmol$$\text{moles} = \frac{11.25 \times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{g}}{112.5\,\mathrm{g\,mol}^{-1}} = 10^{-4}\,\mathrm{mol}$$
Mass of product B produced:
textMass = 10^-4\,mathrmmol times 93\,mathrmg\,mol^-1 = 9.3 times 10^-3\,mathrmg = 9.3\,mathrmmg$$\text{Mass} = 10^{-4}\,\mathrm{mol} \times 93\,\mathrm{g\,mol}^{-1} = 9.3 \times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{g} = 9.3\,\mathrm{mg}$$
Expressing in the specified format:
9.3\,mathrmmg = 93 times 10^-1\,mathrmmg Rightarrow x = 93$$9.3\,\mathrm{mg} = 93 \times 10^{-1}\,\mathrm{mg} \Rightarrow x = 93$$
### Pattern Recognition

Shortcut: Directly compute target weight via W_B = W_A cdot fracM_BM_A = 11.25 cdot frac93112.5 = 9.3$W_B = W_A \cdot \frac{M_B}{M_A} = 11.25 \cdot \frac{93}{112.5} = 9.3$.

Identify [A], [B], and [C], respectively in the following reaction sequence:
The reaction shows Aniline reacting with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid to produce intermediate A, followed by treatment with potassium iodide to yield B, which then dimerizes via sodium in dry ether to form C.
A. Option (1)
B. Option (2)
C. Option (3)
D. Option (4)
Solution
### Core Logic
Let us resolve each structural step sequentially:
1. **Step 1:** Aniline undergoes diazotization when treated with textNaNO_2 + textHCl$\text{NaNO}_2 + \text{HCl}$ at 273-278text K$273-278\text{ K}$, forming benzene diazonium chloride [A]$[A]$ (textC_6textH_5textN_2^+textCl^-$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^-$).
2. **Step 2:** Warming benzene diazonium chloride with potassium iodide (textKI$\text{KI}$) substitutes the diazonium group with iodine, producing iodobenzene [B]$[B]$ (textC_6textH_5textI$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{I}$).
3. **Step 3:** Treating iodobenzene with sodium metal in dry ether causes a Fittig coupling reaction, dimerizing two phenyl radicals into biphenyl [C]$[C]$ (textC_6textH_5-textC_6textH_5$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5-\text{C}_6\text{H}_5$). The reaction shows Aniline reacting with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid to produce intermediate A, followed by treatment with potassium iodide to yield B, which then dimerizes via sodium in dry ether to form C.The reaction shows Aniline reacting with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid to produce intermediate A, followed by treatment with potassium iodide to yield B, which then dimerizes via sodium in dry ether to form C.
