    Hydrolysis of acetonitrile in acidic medium gives

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}\]        

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}\]        

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Hydrolysis of acetonitrile\[(C{{H}_{3}}CN)\]in acidic medium gives acetic acid \[C{{h}_{3}}-CN+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{HCl}C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}\] \[\xrightarrow[{}]{{{H}_{2}}O/HCl}\underset{acetic\,acid}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,+N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]
