Chapter 11, Problem 11.105QP

In 2009, thousands of babies in China became ill from drinking contaminated milk. To falsely boost the milk’s protein content, melamine (C₃H₆N₆) was added to diluted milk because of its high nitrogen composition. Unfortunately, melamine forms a precipitate by hydrogen bonding with cyanuric acid (C₃H₃N₃O₃), another contaminant present. The resulting stonelike particles caused severe kidney damage in many babies. Draw the hydrogen-bonded complex formed from these two molecules.
