Amide formation from carboxylic acid derivatives. | Chemistry | Khan Academy

This video talks about the methods to form amides in a laboratory using carboxylic acid and its derivatives. It also talks about why do we add a base in a mixture of acid halide and ammonia to get an amide, or why do we heat a mixture of an acid and ammonia to form an amide.
