(a)
Interpretation:
The ammonium salt produced by the reaction between HCl and coniine alkaloid should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Alkaloids are natural organic compounds present in plants. They are
Amines have basic properties, meaning they can act as proton acceptors.
Because of the basicity, amines react with acids such as HCl to form water-soluble ammonium salts. Below shown is the general reaction between a primary amine and HCl.
Accordingly, both the secondary and tertiary amines also form their respective ammonium salts with HCl.
