Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the reaction between an amine and an acid?
  • Step 1: Identify the amine and the acid involved in the reaction.
  • Step 2: Understand that an amine has a nitrogen atom that can accept a proton (H+).
  • Step 3: Recognize that an acid can donate a proton (H+).
  • Step 4: When the amine accepts the proton from the acid, it becomes positively charged.
  • Step 5: The acid, after donating the proton, becomes negatively charged.
  • Step 6: The positively charged amine and the negatively charged acid combine to form a salt.
