We’re being asked to draw the skeletal structures of the ammonium salt formed in each reaction.
Recall that in an acid-base reaction:
acid → proton (H+) donor
base → proton (H+) acceptor
• the compound is composed of C, H, and N → amine
Draw skeletal structures of the ammonium salt formed in each reaction. Be sure to include the cation and anion showing their formal charges.
