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

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

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

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

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

    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 \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]and \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\]Therefore, option (b) is correct.
