The correct Answer is:
To determine which compounds will yield acetic acid (CH3COOH) when treated with KMnO4 in the presence of H+ and heat, we need to analyze the oxidation reactions of the given compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: We need to consider the compounds provided in the question. Let's assume the compounds are: - (a) CH3CHO (acetaldehyde) - (b) CH3CH=CHCH3 (symmetrical alkene) - (c) CH3C≡CCH3 (symmetrical alkyne) 2. **Understanding the Oxidizing Agent**: KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent that can oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids, and it can also oxidize alkenes and alkynes to carboxylic acids. 3. **Oxidation of Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO)**: - When acetaldehyde is treated with KMnO4, it gets oxidized to acetic acid: \[ CH3CHO + [O] \rightarrow CH3COOH \] - Thus, CH3CHO will give acetic acid. 4. **Oxidation of Symmetrical Alkene (CH3CH=CHCH3)**: - This symmetrical alkene can be oxidized by KMnO4 to yield two moles of acetic acid: \[ CH3CH=CHCH3 + [O] \rightarrow 2 CH3COOH \] - Therefore, this compound will also give acetic acid. 5. **Oxidation of Symmetrical Alkyne (CH3C≡CCH3)**: - The symmetrical alkyne can also be oxidized by KMnO4 to form two moles of acetic acid: \[ CH3C≡CCH3 + [O] \rightarrow 2 CH3COOH \] - Hence, this compound will also yield acetic acid. 6. **Conclusion**: - All the compounds listed (acetaldehyde, symmetrical alkene, and symmetrical alkyne) will give acetic acid when treated with KMnO4, H+, and heat. ### Final Answer: All of the compounds will give acetic acid with KMnO4/H+/Δ. ---
