Question
Aniline dissolves in HCl due to the formation of:
✓
Answer
- Anilinium chloride
Aniline is basic in nature and HCl is an acid. So, acid - base reaction will take place.
In aniline, the lone pair of electrons is partially delocalized into the benzene ring and is thus, available for protonation by an acid.
Hence, aniline dissolves in acid like HCl forming anilinium chloride salt.
