1. Aromatic diazonium salts are stable at _____ temperatures.
a) cold
b) room
c) warm
d) high
View Answer

a) Yellow solid
b) Colourless crystals
c) White powder
d) Oily liquid
View Answer

Answer: b

5. Which of the following diazonium salts is insoluble in water?
a) C6H5N2+Cl
b) C6H5N2+Br
c) C6H5N2+HSO4
d) C6H5N2+BF4
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Certain diazonium salts such as fluoroborates are insoluble in water. This makes them stable enough to be dried and stored.
