What happens when acetic acid is treated with `NH_(4)OH` and the product is then heated?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When acetic acid is treated with `NH_(4)OH` then `CH_(3)COO^(-)NH_(4)^(+)` is formed which on heating gives acetamide.
`CH_(3)COOH+NH_(4)OHunderset(-CO_(2))overset(-H_(2)O)rarrCH_(3)COO^(-)NH_(4)^(+)overset(Delta)rarrCH_(3)CONH_(2)`
