acid
Acetamide has a chemical formula of C2H5NO, and sulphuric acid is H2SO4. Their reaction is C2H5NO + H2SO4 <--> C2H6NO + HSO4. Note however, that the conjugate acid of acetamide may take two forms due to the non bonding electrons on the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of acetamide.
This is difficult to say, because it is a so called ampholyte: BOTH weak acid AND weak base together.Paracetamol is chemically named: N-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-acetamide from which you can learn its hydroxyl-group in para-position (number 4 position) is acidic (!) and its amide-group is weakly basic. It's difficult to fore-say which property is foregrounded.
because it does not react in acetic acid
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid

An acetamide is an amide of acetic acid, chemical formula CH3CONH2.
acetamide is derived from acetic acid and its NH2 group is electron donating involved in docalization with carbonyl group C=O this group withdraws the elctron pair of NH2 and in this way acetamide behaves as acid but it has high pka value it means its ka value is low so we cant consider acetamode an acid or a base we simply can call it a neutral.

Acetamide!

Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
yes
Flour is a base, not an acid.
It is a Base.
