Identify A and B in the reaction given below Ethane nitrile `underset(aq." "H_(2)SO_(4)+2H_(2)O-NH_(3))overset("Hydrolysi")toA underset("Soda lime "Delta-CO_(2))overset("Decarboxylation")toB`A. acetic acid, methanolB. acetone, methaneC. ethanoic acid, ethaneD. ethanoic acid, methane

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`underset"Ethane nitrile"(CH_3CN) underset(aq. H_2SO_4, 2H_2O -NH_3)overset"Hydrolysis"to undersetundersetA"Ethanoic acid"(CH_3COOH) underset("soda lime," Delta -CO_2) overset"Decarboxylation"to undersetBunderset"Methane"(CH_4)`
Hence , A and B are ethanoic acid and methane respectively
