Compound B, C6H12O2, was found to be optically active, and it was oxidized to an optically active carboxylic acid A, by Ag (aka,
Tollens Reagent). Oxidation of B by PCC gave an optically inactive compound X that reacted with Zn amalgam/HCl to give 3-methylpentane. With Na2Cr2O7/H2SO4, compound B was oxidized to an optically inactive dicarboxylic acid C, C6H10O4. Provide the structures of A, B, and C (ignore specific configuration of any stereocenters).

Check the explanation
Explanation:
Acidipic Acid <u><em>(which is an essential dicarboxylic acid for manufacturing purposes with about 2. 5 billion kilograms produced per year. It is mainly used for the production of nylon and its related materials.)</em></u>
Going by the question, since the is comparatively mild oxidizing agent than the
, it only oxidizes the carbon group

Answer : The correct expression will be:
Explanation :
The chemical reactions are :
(1)
(2)
The final chemical reaction is :
Now we have to calculate the value of for the final reaction.
Now equation 1 is multiply by 2 and then add both the reaction we get the value of 'K'.
If the equation is multiplied by a factor of '2', the equilibrium constant will be the square of the equilibrium constant of initial reaction.
If the two equations are added then equilibrium constant will be multiplied.
Thus, the value of 'K' will be:
