Why is Phenylamine more soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid than in water?
The hydrochloric acid has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions. This means there are more to make the amine group of the phenylamine ionized as the NH3+ form. This makes the molecule more polar and thus, more soluble in the polar solvent.
