Answer #1

The hydrolysis of Nitrile in the presence of acidic conditions results in the formation of Amide and on further complete hydrolysis it results in formation of carboxylic acid as final product.

The mechanism is as ;-

H Hö: ОН, R-CEN: R-C=N-H RANH nitrile

Tautomerization of imidic acid to amide :ÖH ÖH H ti R NH RNH imidic acid O Hö: R R NH2 R NH2 amdie

In The given reaction we have given only these following steps. If we have given more further hydrolysis then it results into the carboxylic acid as the final product.
