    Formaldehyde reacts with ammonia to give urotropine.  The  formula  of urotropine is:

    A) \[{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}{{N}_{4}}\]                              

    B) \[{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}{{N}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}{{N}_{6}}\]                             

    D)  \[{{(CH{{  }_{3}})}_{3}}{{N}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[HCHO\]react with ammonia to form hexamethylene tetramine (urotropine). This is used as medicine and in making explosive (like RDX). \[6HCHO+4N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{urotropine}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}{{N}_{4}}}}\,+6{{H}_{2}}O\]
