Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Overall chemical reaction is -

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH + 2[O] --> CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH + H2O

● Explanation -

N-butyl alcohol on oxidation with strong oxidizing agent like alkaline KMnO4 gives n-butanoic acid.

The reaction takes place in two steps -

• CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH + [O] --> CH3CH2CH2CHO + H2O
• CH3-CH2-CH2-CHO + [O] --> CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH

Hope this is helpful to you. Thanks dear for asking...
