Step 1: Analyze the Reaction
The reaction involves KMnO₄/H⁺, which is a typical oxidizing agent that cleaves alkenes and oxidizes the resulting fragments to carboxylic acids.
Step 2: Predict the Major Product
The oxidation of an alkene will cleave the double bond and convert both fragments into carboxylic acids. The correct product is:
$$ \text{COOH} \longrightarrow -C - C \longrightarrow \text{COOH} $$
Conclusion
The correct product is a pair of carboxylic acids formed by cleaving the alkene.
In Carius method for estimation of halogens, 180 mg of an organic compound produced 143.5 mg of AgCl. The percentage composition of chlorine in the compound is ___________%. [Given: Molar mass in g mol\(^{-1}\) of Ag = 108, Cl = 35.5]
Consider the following reaction occurring in the blast furnace. \[ {Fe}_3{O}_4(s) + 4{CO}(g) \rightarrow 3{Fe}(l) + 4{CO}_2(g) \] ‘x’ kg of iron is produced when \(2.32 \times 10^3\) kg \(Fe_3O_4\) and \(2.8 \times 10^2 \) kg CO are brought together in the furnace.
The value of ‘x’ is __________ (nearest integer).
