Amides can also be derived from acids, such as carboxylic, where the hydroxyl group of the acid has been swapped with ammonia. Another example can be shown in acetic acid, where the resultant product is acetamide. The reaction and separation of ions turned the acid into an amide.mides can also be derived from acids, such as carboxylic, where the hydroxyl group of the acid has been swapped with ammonia.
