MCQ
Lead pipes are readily corroded by:
  • A
    Water.
  • Acetic acid.
  • C
    Conc$. \ce{H_2SO_4}$​
  • D
    Dil$. \ce{H_2SO_4}$​

Answer

Correct option: B.
Acetic acid.
Corrosion of lead is strongly accelerated by traces of acetic acid. Acetic acid in the presence of oxygen rapidly attacks lead and produces very soluble lead$(II)$ acetate which precludes the use of lead to process or store wine or fruit juice.

Statement $I$: Aniline reacts with con. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ followed by heating at $453-473 \mathrm{~K}$ gives $\mathrm{p}$ aminobenzene sulphonic acid, which gives blood red colour in the 'Lassaigne's test'.

Statement $II$: In Friedel - Craft's alkylation and acylation reactions, aniline forms salt with the $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$ catalyst. Due to this, nitrogen of aniline aquires a positive charge and acts as deactivating group.
