Conversion of acetic acid to acetamide.

Explanation:

  • The given reactant is carboxylic acid and the product which is to be obtained is amide.
  • The general principle of conversion of carboxylic acid to amide involves treating the acid with ammonium carbonate and heating the obtained salt.
  • In the given case, acetic acid is an acid which has the chemical formula CH_3COOH. It is first treated with ammonium carbonate (NH_4)_2CO_3.
  • It leads to the formation of ammonium ethanoate (CH_3COONH_4) which on heating undergoes dehydration and yield acetamide.
  • The chemical equation involved in conversion process is as follows:

2CH_3COOH+(NH_4)2CO_3\rightarrow 2CH_3COONH_4+H_2O+CO_2

\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONH}_{4} \stackrel{\Delta}{\rightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONH}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
