    Oxidation of 1-butene with hot\[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]solution produces

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH+HCOOH\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH+C{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH+C{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C=O+C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Oxidation of 1-butene first gives a mixture of propionic acid and formic acid; Formic acid, however, gets further oxidised to\[C{{O}_{2}}\]and \[{{H}_{2}}O\]. Therefore, option [b] is correct.
