Question

ch3-ch3 + o2 → in presence of (ch3coo)2Mn​

Answer 1

(1)CH3CH3+O2(CH3COO)2MN-- (2). CH2=CH2+H2O+O+KMNO4/H+

Answer 2

REACTION OF ETHANE WITH MANGANESE ACETATE WILL LEAD TO THE FORMATION OF ETHANOIC ACID.

Explanation:

• Manganese acetate is an organometallic compound as it contain manganese metal.
• The reaction of a hydrocarbon with manganese acetate under controlled oxidation will form an acid.
• It is a strong oxidising agent, it oxidises alkane, alkene, and alkyne to acids.
• It works as a one electron oxidant.
• So, ethane will be oxidized to ethanoic acid in presence of manganese acetate.
