What do you think?
And why?
And why?
I thought it would be B because it has NH4+, but its a shot in the dark to be honest.
B because you won't get substitution of the acid group, or the H on the methyl, there is no Chlorine involved. It is simple Brønsted Lowry protonation of the base (Ammonia) to form the salt Ammonium ethanoate.
