No, acetamide is not considered amphoteric because it does not have the ability to act as both an acid and a base in a chemical reaction. It is a simple amide compound with no acidic or basic properties.
The chemical equation for the reaction between acetamide (CH3CONH2) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is: CH3CONH2 + H2SO4 → CH3COOH + NH4HSO4 This reaction results in the formation of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and ammonium hydrogen sulfate (NH4HSO4).
The product of 4-aminophenol and acetic acid is N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide.
Acetamide is a white crystalline solid at room temperature.
The pH of acetamide is expected to be neutral (around pH 7) since acetamide is a neutral molecule that does not release or bind to protons in water.

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.
The product of 4-aminophenol and acetic acid is N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide.

The three biologically important amides are acetamide, formamide, and succinimide. Acetamide is a building block in the synthesis of proteins and other biomolecules, formamide is involved in nucleic acid chemistry, and succinimide is a cyclic amide found in peptides and proteins.

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.
