Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH underset("Oxidation")overset([O])toCH_(3)COOH`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH+CH_(3)COOH overset("Conc. "H_(2)SO_(4))toCH_(3)COOCH_(2)CH_(3)`
`2CH_(3)COOH+Na_(2)CO_(3) to 2CH_(3)COONa+CO_(2)+H_(2)O`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3) +5O_(2)to 3CO_(2) +4H_(2)O`

In which process pyruvic acid undergoes complete oxidation and produces carbon dioxide and water?

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are few of the major classes of organic compounds containing carbonyl group. Aldehydes are prepared by dehydrogenation or controlled oxidation of primary alcohols and controlled or selective reduction of acyl halides. Ketones are prepared by oxidation of secondary alcohols and hydration of alkynes. Carboxylic acids are prepared by the oxidation of primary alcohols, aldehydes and alkenes by hydrolysis of nitriles and by treatment of Grignard reagents with carbon dioxide. Through which of the following reactions number of carbon atoms can be increased in the chain?

In which of the following reactions, water is not formed as one of the products? I. Propanol is oxidised by acidified K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) II. Ethanol undergoes complete combustion. III. Methanoic acid reacts with anhyd. Na_(2)CO_(3) . IV. Methanol reacts with sodium metal.

Carbonyl compounds can serve both as reductant and oxidant, such processes being termed as disproportionation reactions. When non enolisable aldehydes are treated with strong aqueous or alcoholic base, one molecule of aldehydes undergoes reduction to alcohol while another molecule undergoes oxidation to acid. This disproportionation is the result of a nucleophilic addition of hydroxide ion to the aldehyde carbonyl to give a tetrahedral intermediate which can then regenerate the carbonyl group either by expelling hydroxide ion (to revert to aldehyde) or, by expelling hydride ions (to revert to carboxylic acid). The addition of hydroxide ion and expulsion of hydride ion is an example of
