Question

Hydrolysis of acetonitrile in acid medium gives: (A)  CH3COOH  (B)  CH3NC  (C)  CH3COOC2H5  (D)  CH3CH2OH

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Acetonitrile is the another name of methyl cyanide (CH3CN). Cyanide group on acidic hydrolysis changes to acid group as: CH3CN+H2O xrightarrow[H+]CH3COOH+N2

Q. Hydrolysis of acetonitrile in acid medium gives:

$C H_{3} COO H$

$C H_{3} NC$

$C H_{3} COO C_{2} H_{5}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H$

Acetonitrile is the another name of methyl cyanide $(C H_{3} CN) .$ Cyanide group on acidic hydrolysis changes to acid group as: $C H_{3} CN + H_{2} O [H^{+}] C H_{3} COO H + N_{2}$
