Detailed Solution

Chemical Reaction

The following reaction demonstrates the hydrolysis of an amide to a carboxylic acid and ammonium chloride:

CH₃CH₂CH₂CONH₂ + NaOH → CH₃CH₂CH₂COO^- ∆
CH₃CH₂CH₂COO^- + HCl → CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH + NH₄Cl

Steps:

The amide (CH₃CH₂CH₂CONH₂) is hydrolyzed in the presence of NaOH under heat (∆), forming the carboxylate ion (CH₃CH₂CH₂COO^-).
The carboxylate ion reacts with HCl to form the carboxylic acid (CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH) and ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl).
