- A$\mathrm{HNO}_{2}$
- B$\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{CaO}$
- Correct answerC$\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}$
- D$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CONH}_{2}$
Solution
Hinsberg's reagent is chemically known as benzenesulfonyl chloride. Its chemical formula is $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}$.
It is used in the Hinsberg test to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines.
Answer: $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}$
