Acylation - Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives (AQA A level Chemistry)

The structures of:
•• acid anhydrides
•• acyl chlorides
•• amides.
The nucleophilic addition-elimination reactions of water,
alcohols, ammonia and primary amines with acyl chlorides
and acid anhydrides.
The industrial advantages of ethanoic anhydride over
ethanoyl chloride in the manufacture of the drug aspirin.
Students should be able to outline the mechanism of
nucleophilic addition-elimination reactions of acyl chlorides
with water, alcohols, ammonia and primary amines.

Great video - helps a ton ! Just a question : At 11:40 could you not have the product HCL instead of ammonium chloride if you just reacted one mole of ammonia or is that just wrong ?
Thanks

It doesn’t work like that I’m afraid.
