Acetic acid, ethanol, acetaldehyde and ethane form a series of 2-carbon molecules which differ in their extent of oxidation. Con
1 answer:
<h2>

</h2>
Explanation:
Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.
→
[oxidation by loss of hydrogen]
- An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.
- An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.
Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.
- The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.
- In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
- There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

[reduction by the gain of electrons]
Here, the oxidizing agent used is in the presence of acetone.

Answer: Option D is correct.
Explanation: Equation given by de Broglie is:
where, = wavelength of the particle
h = Planck's constant
m = mass of the particle
v = velocity of the particle
In option A, football will have some mass and is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s, hence it will have some wavelength.
In Option B, unladen swallow also have some mass and is moving with a velocity of 38 km/hr, hence it will also have some wavelength.
In Option C, a person has some mass and is running with a velocity of 7 m/hr, hence it will also have some wavelength.
As, the momentum of these particles are large, therefore the wavelength will be of small magnitude and hence, is not observable.
From the above, it is clearly visible that all the options are having some wavelength, so option D is correct.
