Question

Carry out conversion of ethanamine to ethane
​

Answer 1

Answer:

At a temperature of 0 to 5 degree celsius,ethyl amine reacts with a Nitrous acid(obtained from NaNO2solution and dilute HCl),to give ethyl diazonium chloride.This can be given a little heat in a aqueous medium to give ethanol.

NaNO2 + HCl gives HNO2 + NaCl.

C2H5NH2 + HNO2 gives C2H5N2+Cl- .

C2H5N2+Cl- + H2O + Heat gives C2H5OH + N2 + HCl.
