                     Acetonitriles on hydrolysis produce carboxylic acids with the evolution of ammonia. \[C{{H}_{3}}-C\equiv N\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{\text{Acetamide}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{|\,|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] \[\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{\text{Acetic}\,\text{acid}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{|\,|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH}}\,+N{{H}_{3}}\]
