Explanation:

We can convert CH3Br to CH3COOH by treating it with strong cyanide salt followed by complete acidic hydrolysis.

Let's take potassium cyanide with methyl bromide. The following reaction occurs:

CH3Br + KCN ------> CH3CN + KBr

Upon acidic hydrolysis, the Acetonitrile (CH3CN) will form acetic acid as follows:

CH3CN + H2O ------> CH3COOH + NH3

Ammonia is liberated and Acetic acid is left behind.
