With the correct choice of acid, acid hydrolysis of ethanamide could produce A) ethanoic acid and ammonium chloride. B) ethanoic
acid and methylamine. C) ethanol and ammonia. D) acetaldehyde and ammonium hydroxide. E) formic acid and ethylamine
1 answer:
Answer:
A) Ethanoic acid and ammonium chloride.
Explanation:
Amides go through acid hydrolysis to produce carboxylic acid and ammonia by heating in aqueous acid. The acid hydrolysis reaction is produced through the <u>nucleophilic addition of water to the protonated amide</u>, then comes the transference of a proton from the oxygen to the nitrogen to make nitrogen a better leaving group, and finally, the subsequent elimination (see attachment).
In this case, the products formed with the reaction of ethanamide and aqueous HCl will be <u>ethanoic acid and ammonium chloride</u>.

Answer:
Kc for this equilibrium is 2.30*10⁻⁶
Explanation:
Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction and the concentrations of reactants and products are held constant.
Being:
aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD
the equilibrium constant Kc is defined as:
In other words, the constant Kc is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. Kc is constant for a given temperature, that is to say that as the reaction temperature varies, its value varies.
In this case, being:
2 NH₃(g) ⇔ N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g)
the equilibrium constant Kc is:
Being:
- [N₂]= 0.0551 M
- [H₂]= 0.0183 M
- [NH₃]= 0.383 M
and replacing:
you get:
Kc= 2.30*10⁻⁶
<u><em>Kc for this equilibrium is 2.30*10⁻⁶</em></u>
