The compound formed is the quaternary ammonium salt N,N,N-trimethyl-1-phenylmethanaminium iodide.
Quaternary ammonium salts are formed when methyl iodide reacts with an amine. The quaternary ammonium salt is an ionic substance which often has a high melting point. Remember that the melting point of a substance can be used to identify the substance.
In this case, a student reacted 40 drops of an unknown amine with 20 drops of iodomethane in 2 ml of a suitable solvent mixture. after 15 minutes of reaction, a white precipitate formed. the precipitate was isolated and its melting point was recorded to be 178 °c. This precipitate must be N,N,N-trimethyl-1-phenylmethanaminium iodide (Benzyltrimethylammonium iodide) because it is a quaternary ammonium salt whose melting point is 178 °c.

Answer:
Explanation:
First, we find in the tables the ΔH of formation of each compound. As you can see in the (image 1)
Then we solve the ecuation for ΔH°reaction
ΔH°reaction=∑ΔH°f(products)−∑ΔH°f(Reactants)
ΔH°reaction= (-2* 393.5 - 2*285.8) - (52.4 + 0) kJ/mol
ΔH°reaction = -1.41 *10^3 kJ/mol
