Initial alcohol is converted to compound A. Compound A undergoes three different transformations. Name compound A and each the f
1 answer:
<h2>Acetic Acid</h2>
Explanation:
- Initial alcohol that is formed from methane is methanol that can be converted to acetic acid.
- Methanol in presence of
and hydrogen gas gets oxidized to acetic acid with the release of water.
Hence, compound A will be Acetic acid.
→
- The acetic acid formed can be transformed into -
