Vedclass · Answer

(C) Step $1$: Ethyl cyanide is $	ext{CH}_3	ext{CH}_2	ext{CN}$ (Propanenitrile).Step $2$: Partial hydrolysis of $	ext{CH}_3	ext{CH}_2	ext{CN}$ gives $	ext{CH}_3	ext{CH}_2	ext{CONH}_2$ (Propanamide) as '$A$'.Step $3$: Complete hydrolysis of '$A$' $(	ext{CH}_3	ext{CH}_2	ext{CONH}_2)$ gives $	ext{CH}_3	ext{CH}_2	ext{COOH}$ (Propanoic acid) as '$B$' and $	ext{NH}_3$ as a byproduct.Step $4$: Therefore, '$B$' is Propanoic acid.

Identify '$B$' in the following reaction $\text{Ethyl cyanide} \xrightarrow{H_2O / H^+} A \xrightarrow{H_2O / H^+} B + NH_3$
