Solution

Carboxylic acids react with ammonia to form ammonium carboxylate salt which on further strong heating at high temperature decomposes to give acid amide.

\ce{\underset{\text{Carboxylic acid}}{R - C - OH} + NH3 ⇌ \underset{\text{Ammonium carboxylate}}{R - C - O- - NH^+_4} ->[\Delta][-H2O] \underset{\text{Acid amide}}{R - C - NH2}}
