A) Acidic
B) Basic
C) Neutral
D) Amphoteric
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Acetamide can behave as weak acid as well as base. \[C{{H}_{3}}-CO-N{{H}_{2}}+HCl\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} \text{Acetamide}\,\text{hydrogen}\, \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{chloride} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CONH_{3}^{+}C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\] \[2C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}+HgO\to \underset{\text{Mercuric}\,\text{acetamide}}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}}CONH)}_{2}}Hg+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\]You need to login to perform this action.
