Answer:
Another example is the conversion of acetyl chloride to acetamide. An acid chloride is more reactive than an amide, therefore treatment of acetyl chloride with ammonia will yield acetamide. The above acetamide can be prepared from ester as well, since esters are more reactive than amides.

Answer:
Treatment of acetyl chloride with ammonia yield acetamide
Explanation:
- Since an acid chloride is more reactive than an amide, acetyl chloride will produce acetamide when it is treated with ammonia.
- Acetic acid is the source of the acyl chloride known as acetyl chloride. It is a member of the group of organic chemicals known as acid halides. It is a volatile, colourless liquid that is corrosive.
- An chemical substance having the formula CH3CONH2 is acetamide. It is the most straightforward amide made from acetic acid. Both as a plasticizer and an industrial solvent, it has some uses. More often employed but not made from acetamide is the similar chemical N, N-dimethylacetamide.
- Nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form the colourless, smelly gas known as ammonia (NH3). It is the most basic stable compound of these elements and a source of many crucial nitrogen products used in industry.
- Thus, Treatment of acetyl chloride with ammonia yield acetamide.
