Question

formation of carboxylic acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carboxylic acids can be prepared be a number of different ways. I'll state two of them here.

Preparation from Primary Alcohols

The general formula is:

                                                         Alkaline KMnO2

                                     RCH2OH-------------------------------> RCOOH

                                                     H3O+ (hydronium ion)

Preparation from Aldehydes

The general formula is:

                                                        Tollen's reagents

                                        CH3CHO----------------------->CH3COOH

I hope this helps! Please mark this as the brainliest:)
