Because 1,2-diaminoethane is base, this compound gain protons from acid (in this example hydrochloric acid) and becaume ionic compound with positive charge (cation).
1,2-diaminoethane is organic compound and hydrochloric acid is inorganic compound.<span>
Balance chemical reaction:
</span>H₂NCH₂CH₂NH₂(aq) + 2HCl(aq) → ⁺H₃NCH₂CH₂NH₃⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
