this is it ,buddy.goodluck

Answer 2

The butanoic acid prepared from an alkene by the process called ozonolysis of alkene.

Explanation:

Oxidation  

• It is the reaction of compound with oxygen .
• It can be controlled oxidation or Un-controlled oxidation (combustion ).
• The controlled oxidation takes place in presence of specific conditions like O.Agent ,perfect temperature ,pressure etc .  
• We can carry out controlled oxidation that is :Ozonolysis of alkenes to form Butanoic acid .
• It can be prepared by ozonolysis of alkenes .
• In this ozone is added to alkene to form intermediate that is ozonide ,which on hydrolysis in acidic medium give rise to Carboxylic acid .
