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:
1) 1,1,1-trichloropropane
2) 1,1,2-trichloropropane
3) 1,2,2-trichloropropane
4) 1,2,3-trichloropropane
Explanation:
For this question, we must remember that isomers are molecules that have the <em>same formula but different structure</em>s. For the formula we can draw a <u>linear chain of three carbons</u> and change the position of the chlorine atoms in the carbon chain.
With this in mind, if we put all the chlorine atoms on the same carbon we will get <u>1,1,1-trichloropropane</u>. If we change an atom from chlorine to carbon 2 we will obtain <u>1,1,2-trichloropropane</u>. If we move another chlorine atom to carbon two we will get <u>1,2,2-trichloropropane</u>. Finally, if we put a chlorine atom in each carbon we will obtain <u>1,2,3-trichloropropane</u>.
