Assertion (A) N-ethylbenzene sulphonamide is soluble in alkali.
Reason (R) Hydrogen attached to nitrogen in sulphonamide is strongly acidic.
Assertion (A) N, N-diethylbenzene sulphonamide is insoluble in alkali.
Reason (R) Sulphonyl group attached to nitrogen atom is strong electron withdrawing group.
Assertion (A) Only a small amount of HCl is required in the reduction of nitro compounds with iron scrap and HCl in the presence of steam.
Reason (R) $\mathrm{FeCl}_2$ formed gets hydrolysed to release HCl during the reaction.
Assertion (A) Aromatic $1^{\circ}$ amines can be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
Reason (R) Aryl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution with anion formed by phthalimide.
Assertion (A) Acetanilide is less basic aniline.
Reason (R) Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.
