(a)
Interpretation:
The complete equation for the reaction between an amine and hydrochloric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In secondary amines, two of the hydrogen atoms of ammonia are replaced by alkyl or aryl group.
In tertiary amines, all hydrogen atoms of ammonia are replaced by alkyl or aryl group.

Answer to Problem 16.26E
The complete reaction between an amine and hydrochloric acid is given below.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction between an amine and hydrochloric acid gives salt of amine. This happens by the abstraction of proton by lone pair of electrons of nitrogen in amine from the hydrochloric acid. The intermediate then rearranges to give salt of amine.
