Question #0af0d

Answer 1

This would be an acid-base neutralization.

Explanation:

Citric acid is a tribasic acid. Its condensed formula is `"H"_3"C"_6"H"_5"O"_7`.

If we react it with a primary amine `"RNH"_2`, the equation becomes

`3"RNH"_2 +"H"_3"C"_6"H"_5"O"_7 → ("RNH"_3^+)_3 "C"_6"H"_5"O"_7^"3-"`

The salt should be non-volatile.

If you need a structural formula, you can write the equation as
