Q. Ethyl isocyanide on hydrolysis in acidic medium generated
A) Ethyl amine salt and methanoic acid
B) Propanoic acid and ammonium salt
C) Ethanoic acid and ammonium salt
D) Methyl amine salt and ethanoic acid
Explanation
(a)
Ethyl isocyanide on hydrolysis in acidic medium gives methanoic acid and ethyl amline salt
$C_{2}H_{5}NC + H_{2}O\overset{\ \ H + \ \ }{\rightarrow}HCOOH\ \ \ \ \ + C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2}$
methanoic acid
$C_{2}H_{5}NH_{2} + H^{+} \rightarrow \ C_{2}H_{5}NH_{3}^{+}$
Ethylamine salt
