Answer 2

Amphetamine itself is a basic, oily liquid. In order to create a more stable and easier to handle form, amphetamine free base is reacted with an acid, such as sulfuric acid, to form the salt, which consists of the protonated amine in amphetamine in an ionic bond with the acid molecule. A similar reaction is mixing lye and hydrochloric acid to produce a salt, sodium chloride (table salt).
