Consider the following reaction
Correct answer: A. CH3CHO, CH3COOH
- A. CH3CHO, CH3COOH
- B. CH3COCH3, CH3COOH
- C. CH3CH2OH, CH3CHO
- D. CH3CHO, CH3CH2OH
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A:CH3CHO, CH3COOH. This is because during the oxidation of ethanol, it first forms acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and then further oxidizes to acetic acid (CH3COOH). Option B is incorrect because acetone (CH3COCH3) is not a product of ethanol oxidation. Option C is incorrect because it suggests only partial oxidation without forming acetic acid. Option D implies a mixture of ethanol and acetaldehyde, which would occur if the reaction was incomplete or stopped prematurely.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
