How is acetic acid converted separately to methylamine and ethyl amine? 

Explanation

To convert acetic acid to methylamine and ethylamine, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Conversion of Acetic Acid to Acetamide
- **Reaction**: Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is reacted with ammonia (NH₃) to form acetamide (CH₃CONH₂).
- **Equation**:
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CONH}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
