Concept Introduction:
Amines are a class of compounds that contain a basic N atom. Based on the nature of substituents on the N aton; the amines can be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary amines.
In primary amines, the N atom has one alkyl group (R) and two hydrogen atoms; with a general structure RNH2.
In secondary amines, the N atom has two alkyl groups (R) and one hydrogen atom; with a general structure R2NH.
In tertiary amines, the N atom has three alkyl groups (R) and no hydrogen atoms; with a general structure R3NH.
Amines react with an acid (H+ ion) to give the corresponding conjugate acid.
The condensed formula of a molecule is the formula where the symbols of atoms are listed in order as they appear in the molecule's structure with bond dashes omitted or limited.
To determine: The condensed structural formula for the ammonium salt obtained when each of the amines in 18.17 reacts with HCl
