Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_3+3 \mathrm{O}_2 \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}\right)_2 \mathrm{Mn}} \\ 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\end{aligned}\)
