Complete the mechanism for these Lewis acid-base reactions. Draw mechanistic arrows and partial charges where appropriate. Reaction A: CH₂NH₂ + HCl = 3 Reaction B: CH₂NH₂ + H₂O = 3 Reaction C: CH₂NH¯ + H₂O = 3 + Reaction D: CH₂NH 3 + H₂O 2 When each of these reactions has come to an equilibrium (where the relative amounts of each chemical species remains unchanged but the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring), predict whether each reaction will have more reactant or more product. Explain your predictions using your knowledge of atomic and molecular structures and electronegativity.

Explain why. 3. Explain why this reaction produces the ortho and para products (but not meta). Use your mechanism to help explain parts #2 and #3. Use additional drawings and words as needed.
