Solution and Explanation
Ethylbenzene (\(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_3\)) undergoes oxidation with potassium permanganate (\(\text{KMnO}_4\)) and potassium hydroxide (\(\text{KOH}\)). This reaction converts the methyl group on ethylbenzene into a carboxyl group, yielding acetic acid (\(\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}\)).
