Given below are two statements : Statement I : Sulphanilic acid gives esterification test for carboxyl group. Statement II : Sulphanilic acid gives red colour in Lassigne's test for extra element detection. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Correct answer: D
-
Analyze Statement I: "Sulphanilic acid gives esterification test for carboxyl group."
- Sulphanilic acid is -aminobenzenesulphonic acid.
- Its acidic functional group is (sulphonic acid), not (carboxylic acid).
- The usual esterification test is used for carboxylic acids, which on heating with alcohol and conc. give fruity smelling esters.
- Sulphonic acids do not respond to the usual esterification test for carboxyl group.
Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.
-
Analyze Statement II: "Sulphanilic acid gives red colour in Lassigne's test for extra element detection."
- Sulphanilic acid contains nitrogen in the group.
- In Lassigne's test, nitrogen is converted into sodium cyanide during fusion.
- This ultimately gives Prussian blue colour in the nitrogen test.
- However, compounds containing both nitrogen and sulphur may give blood red colour due to formation of ferric thiocyanate in Lassigne's test.
- Sulphanilic acid contains both N and S.
Therefore, Statement II is correct.
-
Conclusion:
- Statement I: Incorrect
- Statement II: Correct
Hence, the correct option is:
