Question

Ethanenitrile to ethanoic acid

Answer 1

Answer:

$CH_3CN+2H_2O\overset{H^+}\rightarrow CH_3COOH$

Explanation:

The hydrolysis of alkanenitrile in acidic or alkaline medium results in formation of carboxylic acid.

$RCN+H_2O\overset{H^+ orOH^-}\rightarrow RCO-NH_2$

$RCO-NH_2+H_2O\rightarrow RCOOH$

$CH_3CN+2H_2O\overset{H^+}\rightarrow CH_3COOH$
