Question

reactions/tests-
a) Diazotisation test
​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is diazotisation.

Explanation:

The chemical process used in converting a primary aromatic amine into the corresponding diazonium salt of the amine is commonly referred to as diazotization. This process is also known as ‘diazotization’.

The German industrial chemist Peter Griess was the first person to report such a reaction in 1858. He went on to discover many more reactions involving diazonium salts.

Generally, the preparation of these diazonium salts involves the reaction of an aromatic amine with nitrous acid in the presence of another acid. An example of a diazotization reaction is given below.
