imine formation is an acid-catalyzed process, however the procedure performed in this does not require the addition of an extern
al acid. Suggest a viable source of acid in the reaction depicted.

Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Reaction between p- toluidine and o- vaniline to form imine.This reaction does occur in the presence of a acidic source.
Here the -OH group in the o- vaniline is quite acidic so it acts a internal acidic catalyst. Hence the reaction occurred in the absence of any external acidic source.The reaction mechanism is given at the attached file.

Answer:
Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
Explanation:
The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.
The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.
VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.
We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.
The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).
