Question

An organic compounds A is a constituent of antifreeze and has a molecular formulae c6h6o upon reaction with alkaline KMnO4 the compound A is oxidised to other compound B with formula C2H4O2 Identify the compound A B with the formulae C2H4O2 Identify the compound A and B write the chemichal reaction for equation for the reaction which leads to the formulation of B

Answer 1

Compound A ,, C2H5OH is the constitute of antifreeze. C2H5OH is react with o2 and give acetic acid and H2O. but we can not get directly acetic acid from their constitute.hence we get acetic acid. please give on mark brainliest.
