Correct answer: 2
- Understand acetylation of an amino group
An amino group, , on acetylation becomes an acetamide group, .
This change is:
The net mass added per amino group is the mass of an acetyl group minus one hydrogen:
But it is easier to use the reagent relation:
Each acetylation replaces one hydrogen of by an acetyl group, so the increase in molar mass per amino group is:
Alternatively, adds , whose molar mass is:
So, each amino group increases molar mass by .
- Calculate total increase in molar mass
Initial molar mass of compound :
Final molar mass after acetylation:
Increase in molar mass:
- Find number of amino groups
If one amino group contributes , then number of amino groups is:
- Final answer
The number of amino groups in compound is:
