(ii) The three types of amines react similarly with Hinsberg's reagent and hence can be distinguished from each other., (i) is true and (ii) is true., (i) is true and (ii) is false., (i) is false and (ii) is true., (i) is false and (ii) is false.

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Hinsberg's reagent can differentiate the Primary, secondary and tertiary amines.Tertiary amines can not react with the Hinsberg's reagent. Primary amine formed the salt with Hinsberg's reagent. But the secondary amine can not form the salt with Hinsberg's reagent. So, amines can be identified and distinguished by Hinsberg's reagent. But the three types of amines can not react similarly with Hinsberg's reagent and hence can be distinguished from each other.
