Identify the product of acid hydrolysis of propane nitrile.

Identify the product of acid hydrolysis of propane nitrile.

Options

  1. APropanal
  2. BAcetic acid
  3. CPropionamide
  4. DPropanoic acid

Correct answer

D. Propanoic acid

Step-by-step solution

Propane nitrile is CH3CH2CNCH_3CH_2CN.

Complete acid hydrolysis of nitriles yields carboxylic acids with the same number of carbon atoms.

CH3CH2CN+2H2O+H+→CH3CH2COOH+NH4+CH_3CH_2CN + 2H_2O + H^+ \rightarrow CH_3CH_2COOH + NH_4^+

The product formed is propanoic acid.

Answer: Propanoic acid
