On oxidation of ethyne with strong alkaline KMnO4 solution, the final product formed is:
Correct answer: D. Oxalic acid
- A. Glyoxal
- B. Glycol
- C. Acetic acid
- D. Oxalic acid
Explanation
Ethyne on oxidation with strong alkaline KMnO4, gives glyoxal which is further oxidized to produce oxalic acid as the ultimate product. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the final product formed in the oxidation of ethyne.
