There are 10 hydrogen atoms that bind and there are 2 pairs of free electrons in the non-binding O atom
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Aldehydes are alkane-derived compounds containing carbonyl groups (-CO-) where one bond binds to an alkyl group while another binds to a hydrogen atom.
The general structure is R-CHO with the molecular formula :

Naming is generally the same as the alkane by replacing the suffix with -al
Butanal or butyraldehyde is an aldehyde which has 4 C atoms
Inside the structure there are 3 atoms involved in bonding:
- 1. Atom C with 4 valence electrons, requires 4 electrons to reach the octet
- 2. Atom O with 6 valence electrons, requires 2 electrons to reach the octet
- 3. Atom H with 1 valence electron, requires 1 electron to reach a duplet
In describing Lewis's structure the steps that can be taken are:
- 1. Count the number of valence electrons from atoms in a molecule
- 2. Give each bond a pair of electrons
- 3. The remaining electrons are given to the atomic terminal so that an octet is reached
- 4. The remaining electrons that still exist in the central atom
- 5. If the central atom is not yet octet, free electrons are drawn to the central atom to form double bonds
In the Butanal structure (C₄H₈O) there is 1 double bond of the functional group (-CHO) between the C atom and the O atom

It can be easily judged that only the first reaction is an acid base reaction among the three given in the question. So, we can avoid the other two reactions given in the question. Now let us focus and write down the balanced chemical equation of <span>P-Toluidine + HCl.
</span><span>C7H9N + HCl = C7H10N (+) + Cl (-)
</span>
I hope the answer has come to your help.
