Write the chemical equation for the following.
Give balanced equation for each of the following: Ethylamine and nitrous acid
Answer
Answer
AIEquation: $\mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2}} + \mathrm{HNO_{2}} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{NaNO_{2}}\text{ }\text{+}\text{ }\text{HCl}\text{,}\text{ }\text{273-278}\text{ }\text{K}} \mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}OH} + \mathrm{N_{2}} + \mathrm{H_{2}O}$
Product: ethanol
Ethylamine reacts with nitrous acid to give ethanol with evolution of nitrogen.
