Firstly, ethanal is reacted with HCN to produce hydroxynitrile.
CH3CHO +HCN -------> CH3CH(OH)CN
Only then the hydroxynitrile is converted into carboxylic acid (lactic acid in this case) by heating under reflux with aqueous acids or alkalis (hydrolysis).
CH3CH(OH)CN + 2H2O + H+ (proton) --------> CH3CH(OH)COOH +NH4+ (ammonium ion)

What is the acid found in curd?
Lactic acid is the main acid found in curd. It is produced by the bacteria present during the fermentation process of milk to make curd.
Milk has which acid?
Milk contains lactic acid.
What are the products of lactic acid frementation?
Lactic acid (or lactate, which is the anion of lactic acid) is the product of lactic acid fermentation.
What is the empirical formula of lactic acid?
C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3+2ATP Sugar (glucose) → Lactic Acid + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP) or Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+
Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
One type of fermentation in muscle cells produces?
Lactate (also known as lactic acid) and NAD+
What does fermentation make in humans?

What is the acid found in curd?
Lactic acid is the main acid found in curd. It is produced by the bacteria present during the fermentation process of milk to make curd.
Milk has which acid?
Milk contains lactic acid.
What has more acid than yogurt?
I'm not sure but, Lemon,Vinegar and lactic acid is in cheese..
What are the two main types of lactic acid?
The two main types of lactic acid are L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. They are optical isomers, meaning they have the same chemical formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms. L-lactic acid is the form produced in the human body during strenuous exercise, while D-lactic acid is produced by certain bacteria.
Is lactose in lactic acid?
No. Lactic acid is a different molecule than lactose. Molecular Formulas: Lactic Acid- C3H6O3 Lactose- C12H22O11 In addition, lactose is a sugar molecular while, as you may guess, lactic acid is an acid. When raw milk turns sour or becomes curdled, lactic acid bacteria are fermenting lactose into lactic acid.
What are the products of lactic acid frementation?
Lactic acid (or lactate, which is the anion of lactic acid) is the product of lactic acid fermentation.
What is the by-product of lactic acid fermentation?
The by-product of lactic acid fermentation is lactic acid. This process occurs in muscle cells when oxygen is in short supply, leading to the production of lactic acid as a way to generate energy. Lactic acid can build up in muscles and cause fatigue and muscle soreness.
What is the empirical formula of lactic acid?
C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3+2ATP Sugar (glucose) → Lactic Acid + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP) or Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+
What elements make up lactic acid?
Lactic acid is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. It is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C3H6O3.
