Question

• Acetic anhydride when boiled
with dilute HCl gives​

Answer 1

Answer:

· Acetic anhydride: May boil explosively: Acetyl chloride: Violently decomposes to HCl and acetic acid: Aluminum bromide: Violent hydrolysis: Aluminum chloride: Violent decomposition forming HCl

Answer 2

Acetic anhydride will react with HCl to give acetyl chloride and acetic acid

• Acetic anhydride (CH₃CO)₂O when boiled/heated with dilute HCl will react to give acetyl chloride(CH₃COCl) and acetic acid (CH₃COOH) that are the products of the reaction.
• The reaction for the following can be written in the given manner:

                  (CH₃CO)₂O +  HCl → CH₃COCl + CH₃COOH

Thus, acetic anhydride when boiled with dilute HCl gives​ acetyl chloride(CH₃COCl) and acetic acid (CH₃COOH).
