(a)
Interpretation:
The reason behind not forming any amide produts by the reaction of acetic acid with ammonia in water has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Acid- base neutralization reaction: it is a double displacement reaction in which an acid and a base react to form an ionic compound (salt) and water.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason behind decreasing of
Concept introduction:
The value
If the value of
Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is cleaved into two parts by the addition of a molecule of water. If the reaction is carried out with the help of an acid it is said to be an acid catalysed hydrolysis.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason behind the fact that the hydrolysis of an amide at neutral
Concept introduction:
Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves the chemical compound with pair of electrons in a heterolytic bond cleavage. The
Amide is an organic compound in which a carbonyl group
The normal reaction of an amide with water does not give good yield of product. As amides are least reactive carboxylic acid derivatives so to increase the reactivity of amides a mineral acid is added.
