Anilinium Chloride

Postby Gabriel Wolf 3I » Tue Nov 30, 2021 12:03 pm

I was confused about how Anilinium Chloride worked. Isn't NH3 basic? Is it just because it has a positive charge, and it is less tightly bound to the Hydrogen than it is to the carbon?

Edit: realized how badly worded this was. What I meant was why is it that anilinium chloride's (C6H5NH3Cl) NH3 acts as an acid when NH3 on its own acts as a base?

NH3 is amphoteric so it can act as an acid by donating H+
