Explanation

(a)

Amines serve as nucleophiles in attacking the sulfonyl chloride electrophile, displacing chloride. The sulfonamides resulting from primary and secondary amines are poorly soluble and precipitate as solids from solution:

PhSO2Cl + 2 RR'NH → PhSO2NRR' + [RR'NH2+]Cl

For primary amines (R' = H), the initially formed sulfonamide is deprotonated by base to give water-soluble sulfonamide salt (Na[PhSO2NR]):

PhSO2N(H)R + NaOH → Na+[PhSO2NR] + H2O

Tertiary amines promote hydrolysis of the sulfonyl chloride functional group, which affords water-soluble sulfonate salts.

PhSO2Cl + R3N + H2O → R3NH+[PhSO3

Explanation

Methylamine (CH3NH2) is a stronger base than ammonia (NH3) due to the electron-donating effect of the methyl group. The methyl group increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom, making it more basic compared to ammonia.

A colourless organic compound gave brisk effervescence with a mixture of NaNO2 and dil.HCl. It could be:

Explanation

Urea (CO(NH2)2) is the correct answer. When urea is treated with a mixture of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), it undergoes a reaction that generates nitrogen gas, causing brisk effervescence.

Aliphatic amines are soluble in water because:

Explanation

Aliphatic amines are soluble in water because of their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The nitrogen atom in amines has a lone pair of electrons, which can form hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen atoms of water molecules.
