Correct answer: A

  1. Identify the confirmatory test for aromatic primary amines

Aromatic primary amines such as aniline are commonly confirmed by the diazotisation followed by azo dye formation test.

  1. Step 1: Diazotisation reagent

An aromatic primary amine reacts with nitrous acid at low temperature (0−5∘C)(0-5^\circ \mathrm{C})(0−5∘C) to form a diazonium salt.

Since nitrous acid is unstable, it is generated in situ using: NaNO2+HCl\mathrm{NaNO_2 + HCl}NaNO2​+HCl

So reagent (A) must be nitrous acid generation conditions, i.e. NaNO2/HCl\mathrm{NaNO_2/HCl}NaNO2​/HCl at 0−5∘C0-5^\circ C0−5∘C.

  1. Step 2: Coupling reagent

The diazonium salt then couples with an activated aromatic compound such as β\betaβ-naphthol in alkaline medium to form a brightly colored azo dye, which is the confirmatory observation.

So reagent (B) must be alkaline β\betaβ-naphthol.

  1. Conclusion

Thus the confirmatory test uses:

  • (A): NaNO2+HCl\mathrm{NaNO_2 + HCl}NaNO2​+HCl at low temperature
  • (B): alkaline β\betaβ-naphthol

Hence, the correct option is the one corresponding to these reagents, which is given as Option A.

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = A

My derived answer = A

So they agree.
