Question

Complete the reaction benzene12 cooh + nh3 and heat

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{The\:Answer\:Is}$

When we heat Acetic acid (CH3COOHCH3COOH) with Ammonia (NH3NH3), we get Acetamide (CH3CONH2CH3CONH2). The reaction is a two step reaction

Step I: Neutralization reaction occurs between Acetic acid (CH3COOHCH3COOH)(Acid) & Ammonia (NH3NH3)(Base) to produce Ammonium acetate (CH3COO−NH+4CH3COO−NH4+)(Salt)

CH3COOH+NH3⇌CH3COONH4CH3COOH+NH3⇌CH3COONH4

Step II: Removal of water molecule by heating

CH3COONH4−→ΔCH3COONH2+H2OCH3COONH4→∆CH3COONH2+H2O
