What is the principle of the solubility of amines in water and acids?

Charles MacKay  Follow

The principle is neutralization.

One chemical property of aciacid is their reaction with base to form salt and water.

Amines, R3N, aredesribed as weak bases because of the presence of the lone pair on the nitrogen atom. This lone pair can interact with the proton from an acid and form a salt of the amine in the process.

This acid, not to be confused with malic acid, is very soluble in water and its odour resembles that of acetic acid. It’s also known as dicarboxymethane because its formula is COOHCH2COOH , where the two carboxylic acid groups are joined via a saturated carbon atom.
