The product of the reaction between methylamine, CH₃NH₂, and hydrochloric acid are A) CH₄NH₂⁺ and Cl^- B) CH₃NH^- and H₂Cl⁺ C) CH₃NH₃⁺ and Cl^- D) CH₃NH₃^- and Cl⁺ E) CH₃NH₄²⁺ and 2Cl^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When methylamine, CH₃NH₂, reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCl, the amine group (NH2) reacts with the proton (H+) from HCl to form the ammonium ion (NH3+), and the chloride ion (Cl-) is produced. This results in the formation of CH₃NH₃ and Cl^-. Therefore, the best choice is C.
