Correct answer: B
- Identify the reaction
Sulphanilic acid undergoes diazotization with nitrous acid at to form a diazonium salt, which then couples with -naphthylamine in acidic medium (acetic acid) to give an azo dye.
So the product is formed by:
- diazotized sulphanilic acid
- coupling with -naphthylamine
This is the well-known azo coupling product.
- Write molecular formulas of reactants
- Sulphanilic acid:
Its molecular formula is:
(Check: )
- -Naphthylamine: naphthalene , replacing one H by gives:
- Formula of azo product
In azo coupling, the diazonium part and naphthylamine part join through , with loss of:
- one of sulphanilic acid becoming part of diazonium
- overall, coupling effectively removes hydrogen atoms from the two aromatic partners
Thus product formula can be obtained as:
A simpler and correct way is to directly write the coupled product structure:
Now count atoms:
- Carbon:
- Hydrogen: ? Let us count carefully from groups.
From structure:
- from benzene ring
- contributes
- from naphthalene residue
- contributes
Total hydrogen:
Nitrogen:
- azo group:
- amino group:
So total formula:
- Calculate molar mass
Using given atomic masses:
- Mass of mol product
This is closest to:
- Check options
- A: g incorrect
- B: g
- C: g
- D: g
Therefore, the correct option is B.
