Explain oxidation and addition reaction of carbon compounds with examples.
Answers
Answer:
Hope it helps you.
Explanation:
In combustion reaction, carbon compounds are oxidized in the presence of oxygen. The following example is different because alkaline KMnO4 is the oxidizing agent in this reaction. Addition Reaction: Formation of larger molecules by addition of more radicals is known as addition reaction.
Answer:
Oxidation
In combustion reaction, carbon compounds are oxidized in the presence of oxygen. The following example is different because alkaline KMnO4 is the oxidizing agent in this reaction.
CH3CH2OH + (Alkaline KMnO4/Acidified K2Cr2O7) ⇨ CH3COOH
Addition
Formation of larger molecules by addition of more radicals is known as addition reaction. For example; ethene is converted into ethane when heated with the catalyst nickel.
CH2=CH2 + H2 + (Nickel catalyst) ⇨ CH3−CH3
When ethene undergoes addition reaction with chlorine, it gives dichloroethane.
