Question

How acitic acid is prepare from mythayl cyanide? ​

Answer 1

Acetic acid is prepared from methyl cyanide by hydrolysis in the presence of acid.

Explanation :

• Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid. It is colourless organic compound with chemical formula CH₃COOH. It is used as a food preservative. It is a conjugate acid of acetate.
• methyl cyanide is also known as acetonitrile and chemical formula of it is CH₃CN. It is used as aprotic solvent( a solvent that lacks an acidic proton) in organic synthesis and the purification of butadiene.
• The hydrolysis of methyl cyanide in an acidic medium gives acetic acid.

The chemical reaction is ..

           CH₃CN + H₂O/H⁺ ⇒ CH₃COOH

                                                                                   

Therefore the acetic acid is prepared by hydrolysis of methyl cyanide in an acidic medium.
