Nitrous Acid Test Procedure: Make a solution of  4 grams NaNO3 in 16 mL water. Put 2 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid into a 10x75-mm test tube and add 0.5 ml of amine. Cool the solution in a water-ice slush to zero degrees celcius. Add the nitrile solution slowly, dropwise, until a drop of the reaction mixture gives a blue spot on starch-iodide paper.  The following should be tested: (NOTE: Include the observations and reaction equation) A. PRIMARY ALIPHATIC AMINES (Like Butylamine of Cyclohexylamine) B. PRIMARY AROMATIC AMINES I. Aniline + nitrous acid; then heat. II. Aniline + nitrous acid; then B-Napthol.
