CH3CONHCH3 + H2O + HCL =

CH3CH2CONHCH3 + NaOH =

Also, what is the structural formula for:

C2HOCL2

Thanks

I don't get the first
you have CH3 - CONH - CH3
this can't work because the nitrogen has to have 3 bonds? :confused:

It does - it's a peptide bond. This forum isn't exactly the easiest of places to draw organic structures.

CH3CONHCH3 + H2O + HCL = CH3COOH + Cl(-)N(+)H3CH3

CH3CH2CONHCH3 + NaOH = CH3COO(-)Na(+) + NH2CH3

C2HOCL2...er...have you got this correct? You might have, but I'm not sure what it is at the minute - is this all you've been given?

Well, the equations weren't - but this weird compound is confusing. Are you sure it isn't CHOCl2, instead of C2HOCl2?

There we go - knew it would make sense eventually.
It's CH2ClCOCl, a derivative of acetyl chloride.

Yes, it could be that as well - what a rubbish question.
