Sulphanilic acid is diazotized under cold conditions (273~K) with nitrous acid to form a diazonium salt intermediate. This diazonium salt undergoes a coupling reaction with 1-naphthylamine to form a red azo dye.
First, sulphanilic acid acts as a zwitterion and undergoes diazotization:
Nitrous acid reacts with the amine to form the diazonium compound:
This intermediate couples with 1-naphthylamine at the para-position to give the red azo dye compound:
Step 1: Calculate the Molar Mass
The molecular formula of the red-azo dye formed is C₁₆H₁₃N₃O₃S. Let's calculate its molar mass using the given atomic masses:
Molar mass = 16(12) + 13(1) + 3(14) + 3(16) + 32 Molar mass = 192 + 13 + 42 + 48 + 32 = 327~ g~mol⁻¹Step 2: Calculate the Mass of 0.1 Mole
Using the relation for mass:
Mass of 0.1~mole = 0.1 × 327 = 32.7~g ≈ 33~gHence, the nearest option is 33~g.
Pattern Recognition
Azo coupling reactions are clean electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Diazotized sulphanilic acid has a highly electron-withdrawing sulphonic acid group, making it an excellent electrophile that couples selectively at the para-position of 1-naphthylamine.
