How to convert butanoic acid to propanamide?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
netineya [11]2 years ago

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.

What is the degree of oxidation of a simple substance​​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero. For a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion. For example, Cl– has an oxidation state of -1. When present in most compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 and oxygen an oxidation state of −2.

hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D Explanation:

What can natural selection accomplish? prove Darwin's idea of "survival of the fittest" change relative number of inhabitants wi
oksian1 [2.3K]
Natural selection makes it so that an organism from a species has a better chance of surviving than an organism in the same species, but with different traits. Survival of the fittest proves that certain traits can help an organisms survive better than its peers. For example, say there was an allele that made bears have thicker fur than others. The year-round climate is extremely cold. The bears with thicker fur are more likely to survive due to the warmth their fur provides and will have more offspring. The bears with thinner fur will die more often and not produce healthy offspring due to the frigid temperature. Eventually, the allele for thin fur will die out because the bears with these alleles cannot survive in their habitat.
