Question

what happens when ammonium acetate is heated

Answer 1

Ammonium acetate decomposes at temperatures above 165 °C to yield acetamide:

CH3COONH4 → CH3C(O)NH2 + H2O

If acetamide is heated further, in the presence of a drying agent, it will convert to acetonitrale (methyl cyanide).

Answer 2

heya...!!!

✔here is ua answer:

Drying the solution by boiling the excess water is difficult, as ammonium acetate will decompose. The best way to synthesize it is to bubble ammoniagas into anhydrous (glacial) acetic acid, causing the ammonium acetateto crystallize, though this is expensive.
