About

Chlorpheniramine Maleate is a halogenated amine. Amines are chemical bases, and they neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base.
