Question

How can you prepare acetic acid from ethane nitrile . Elaborate it ??

Answer 1

Answer:

Heyy mate...Good evening...here's you're answer...

You can convert acetonitrile (ethanenitrile) to acetic acid by acid hydrolysis - reflux the nitrile with dilute hydrochloric acid, and you will form the acetic acid which can then be distilled off.

CH3CN + H2O = CH3COOH + NH3
