Question:

A compound (\( x \)) with molar mass \( 108 \, \text{g mol}^{-1} \) undergoes acetylation to give a product with molar mass \( 192 \, \text{g mol}^{-1} \). The number of amino groups in the compound (\( x \)) is ______.

Correct Answer: 2

Solution and Explanation

Each \(\text{NH}_2\) group increases molecular weight by 42 upon acetylation:

\[ 192 - 108 = 84 \] \[ \frac{84}{42} = 2 \]

Thus, the compound \(x\) has:

\[ \text{2 amino groups.} \]
