Account for the following, supporting your naswer with diagrams or equations wherever possible.
(a) Diazomium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of alihatic amines.
(b) Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipipate hydrated ferric oxide.
(a) Diazonium salt of aromatic amines undergo resonace that stabilizes the structure. Such effect is not observed in aliphatic amine. Hence, diazonium salts of aromatic amine is more stable.
(b) Methyl amine being basic in nature generates hydroxide ions in water.
Hyrdoxide ions reacts with ferric ion to precipitate out brown hydrated ferric oxide.
