B) a secondary amine
C) a tertiary amine
D) a mixture of all the three
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
When an alkyl halide reacts with alcoholic ammonia in a sealed tube then a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amine is formed. \[RX\,\,+\,\,N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{pri-amine}{\mathop{RN{{H}_{2}}}}\,+HX\] \[RN{{H}_{2}}+XR\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{sec-amine}{\mathop{{{R}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,+HX\] \[{{R}_{2}}NH+XR\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{ter-\text{ }amine}{\mathop{{{R}_{3}}N}}\,+HX\]
