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 kind of acid is lactic acid?
Lactic acid is an organic acid. It can be found in sour milk.
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+
How convert ethyne to ethanal?
add water to ethyne in persence of murcuric salts(HgSO4) and Sulphuric Acid(H2SO4) will give ethanal
One type of fermentation in muscle cells produces?
Lactate (also known as lactic acid) and NAD+
What does fermentation make in humans?
Lactic acid
Is lactic a base or an acid?
acid as in lactic acid?
What are the two main types of lactic acid?
Lactic acid has two optical isomers: L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid.

What has more acid than yogurt?
I'm not sure but, Lemon,Vinegar and lactic acid is in cheese..
What is the by-product of lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and ATP.
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.
Which acid is produced when milk go sour?
Tartic acid is present in sour milk. Generally the source of tartic acid is lemon, therefore sour milk gives taste of lime. Therefore it is clear that tartic acid is there. Sometimes when we want to make Paneer from milk, we put 1 or 2 miligram tartic acid to make milk separate from water.
Where does the sour taste in foods come from such as cheese and yogurt?
Lactic acid produced by fermentation.
Is lactic acid a non electrolyte?
Lactic acid is an electrolyte.
