AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds A and B in the given reaction sequence involving the compound CH₃COCH₃ (acetone). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the starting compound**: The starting compound is CH₃COCH₃, which is known as acetone or propan-2-one. 2. **Oxidation with concentrated HNO₃**: When acetone (CH₃COCH₃) is treated with concentrated nitric acid (HNO₃), it undergoes oxidation. In this reaction, acetone is oxidized to form two products: acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and formic acid (HCOOH). However, the major product formed from this oxidation is acetic acid. ...
