Answer 1

that's the answer of your question

Answer 2

Answer:

Chemical processes involving organic molecules are known as organic reactions. The fundamental types of organic chemistry reactions include redox reactions, photochemical reactions, pericyclic reactions, elimination reactions, and substitution reactions.

Explanation:

The first step is the treatment of bromomethane $(CH_{3} Br)$ with aqueous potassium cyanide which results in the formation of methyl cyanide $(CH_{3} CN)$ and KBr as the side product.

The methyl cyanide upon hydrolysis $(H_{2} O/H^{+} )$ gives the required product i.e., ethanoic acid $(CH_{3} COOH)$.

The reaction is as follows below:

                   $CH_{3} Br$ + KCN (aq) → $CH_{3} CN$ + KBr

                   $CH_{3} CN$ + $H_{2} O/H^{+}$ → $CH_{3} COOH$

Hence, we can convert bromomethane into ethanoic acid by
