Question 1 Report

The reaction between ammonia and ethyl ethanoate produces
Answer Details
The reaction between ammonia and ethyl ethanoate produces ethanol and ethanamide. When ammonia reacts with ethyl ethanoate, it undergoes a reaction called a nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this reaction, the nitrogen atom of the ammonia molecule acts as a nucleophile, or a molecule with a strong tendency to donate electrons, and attacks the carbon atom of the ethyl ethanoate molecule, which is bonded to the carbonyl group. This results in the formation of ethanol and ethanamide.
