Benzoic acid is the main product when _is oxidized by acidified K2Cr2O7
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. C6H5CH3
- B. C6H5CH2CH2CH3
- C. C6H5CH2CH3
- D. All of these
Explanation
When an alkyl group attached to a benzene ring is oxidized by acidified K2Cr2O7, it forms benzoic acid. In this case, all the mentioned alkyl groups (C6H5CH3, C6H5CH2CH2CH3, and C6H5CH2CH3) can lead to the production of benzoic acid, hence the correct answer is 'All of these'. The other options do not specifically lead to the formation of benzoic acid in this oxidation reaction.
