Aniline hydrochloride
« on: April 01, 2020, 09:23:58 AM »
aniline hydrochloride is a green or white sand-like powder. Does it mean aniline powder mixed with hcl powder? Because i saw aniline and hcl not connected

Aniline is a liquid at room temperature. If you add one equivalent of HCl to it, yes, it becomes a white powder.

Sometimes people write acid salts different ways that can be confusing.

Every liquid may solidify under a sufficiently lower temperature. But in this case, a new compound is formed with new physical properties.
From dry gases: NH3 and HCl you will obtain a solid NH4Cl.

I have not done this exact experiment, but I have done things that are similar.  Imagine a solution of aniline in diethyl ether, and a solution of HCl in diethyl ether.  Now imagine mixing them.  HCl will protonate aniline to create a salt that is insoluble, meaning that it will fall out of the organic solvent.  We collect the crystals of this salt using filtration.  The crystalline material could be written as C6H5NH2•HCl, although this notation might mislead the unwary.  One could also write C6H5NH3+Cl-.
