Consider the Acid-Base reaction of acetic acid (C2H4O2) with ethylene diamine (C2H8N2) to form the corresponding salt. Then the structural formulas for acetic acid and ethylene diamine were drawn below this.
Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction, noting both amine groups can accept a proton.
I know that acid + base = water + salt
I'm not sure if what I've come up with is right or not... I don't remember the teacher ever going over anything like this...
C2H4O2 + C2H8N2 --> 2H2O + C4H8N2
