    Toluene can be oxidised to benzoic acid by

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]        

    B)         \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]           

    C)         \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]         

    D)         both (b) and (c).

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Both \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] and \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] are strong oxidising agents therefore can oxidise any alkyl benzene to benzoic acid.
