**Question: Chemical Reaction Products**

Look at the chemical reaction provided:

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2 + \text{CH}_3\text{C(=O)OH} \rightarrow ? \]

A product of the reaction above would be a(n):

- ☐ alkene
- ☐ salt
- ☐ secondary amine
- ☐ aldehyde

**Explanation:**

In the given reaction, ethanolamine (CH3CH2NH2) is reacting with acetic acid (CH3C(=O)OH). The reaction between an amine and a carboxylic acid typically produces an amide and water. This is an example of a condensation reaction where the amine group (NH2) bonds with the carbonyl group (C=O) of the carboxylic acid, releasing a molecule of water in the process.

Thus, the correct answer for the product of the reaction is likely an **amide**, but that is not listed as an option. The closest option that might be misconceived for educational purposes could be salt, as some might think of the amine's nitrogen being protonated to form an ammonium salt with the carboxylate. However, the correct understanding for this reaction leads to the formation of an amide, which is generally the correct interpretation based on organic chemistry principles.

Given the choices:
- **☑ secondary amine** might be misleadingly correct if considering amides as part of the broader amine classification.

Therefore, none of the provided options fit perfectly in the context of this specific chemical reaction's main product.
