Here's the chemical reaction:
(CH3CH2CH2CH2)2NH + HCl → [(CH3CH2CH2CH2)2NH2]Cl
* Dibutylamine ((CH3CH2CH2CH2)2NH) is a secondary amine.
* HCl is a strong acid.
* The reaction is an acid-base reaction where the lone pair on the nitrogen atom in dibutylamine accepts a proton (H+) from HCl.
* This forms a positively charged ammonium ion [(CH3CH2CH2CH2)2NH2]+ and a chloride ion (Cl-), which combine to form dibutylammonium chloride.
Dibutylammonium chloride is a salt that is typically white and solid at room temperature.
