Butanoic acid is converted to propanamide by first converting it to propanoic acid, then ammonium propanoate and then finally propanamide by heating.

<h3>How are carboxylic acids converted to amides?</h3>

Carboxylic acids are converted to amides by converting them into into an ammonium salt which then produces an amide on heating.

The ammonium salt is prepared by adding ammonium carbonate to an excess of the acid. The ammonium salt is then heated to give the amide

Therefore, butanoic acid is converted to propanamide by first converting it to propanoic acid, then ammonium propanoate and then finally propanamide by heating.

In conclusion, carboxylic acids are converted to amides in two steps.

Answer:

CO2 consists of individual molecules with one central carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Silicon does not form double bonds with oxygen. CO2 is gas but SiO2 is a solid because SiO2 has a giant molecular structure. CO2 has a simple molecular structure, and because of this, CO2 is gas but SiO2 is solid at room temperature.
