جب ایتھنامائڈ کا علاج فاسفورس پینٹ آکسائیڈ کے ساتھ کیا جاتا ہے؟

None of these

When ethanamide (CH3CONH2) reacts with phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅), it undergoes dehydration to form methyl cyanide (CH3CN).

It is also known as acetonitrile.

P₂O₅ acts as a strong dehydrating agent, removing water from ethanamide.
