Question

1)Complete the following acid-base reaction and name the product:

A) CH3CH2CH2NH2+HCl

B) (C2H5)3N+HCl

Open in App
Solution

A) Reaction of propyl amine with HCl

This reaction is an acid-base reaction, so salt is formed.

In this reaction CH3CH2CH2NH2 act as base due to availability of lone pair on nitrogen and HCl as acid, so the N will accept H+ from HCl and form a salt. Acid-base reaction of n-propyl amine with HCl is shown below.

CH3CH2CH2NH2HClCH3CH2CH3NH+3Cl
n-propylamine n-propylammonium chloride


Hence, the product obtained in the given reaction is n−propylammonium chloride

B) Reaction of triethyl amine with HCl

This reaction is an acid-base reaction, so salt is formed. In this reaction (C2H5)3N act as base due to availability of lone pair of electron on nitrogen and HCl acts asan acid, so the N will accept H+ from HCl and form a salt. Acid-base reaction of triethyl amine with HCl is shown below.

(C2H5)3NHCl(C2H5)3NH+Cl
Triethylamine Triethylammonium chloride

Hence, the product obtained in the given reaction is Triethylammonium chloride
