Identify the end product in the following sequence of reactions
`CH_(3)COONH_(4)overset(Delta)toXunderset(Delta)overset(P_(2)O_(5))toYoverset(H_(2)O //H^(+))toZ`

Options

A. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CONH_(2)`
B. `CH_(3)CN`
C. `CH_(3)COOH`
D. `(CH_(3)CO)_(2)O`

Answer

C

Explanation

` CH _ 3 COONH _ 4 overset (Delta ) to underset((X))underset("Acetamide")( CH_3 CONH _2) overset(P_2 O _ 5 ) underset(Delta ( - H _ 2O )) to underset((Y)) underset("Methyl cyanide")(CH_3CN) overset ( H_ 2O //H^(+))to underset ( "Acetic acid")(CH_3COOH ) `
