JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 24th January Evening Shift - No. 14)

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : Pure Aniline and other arylamines are usually colourless.

Statement II : Arylamines get coloured on storage due to atmospheric reduction.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Statement I is incorrect but Statement I is correct

Explanation

The most appropriate answer is Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.

Pure Aniline and other arylamines are usually colorless, which is in agreement with Statement-I. However, Statement-II is incorrect as arylamines do not get colored on storage due to atmospheric reduction. Instead, get coloured on storage due to atmospheric oxidation and become darker in color upon exposure to air.
