Question

If ‘x’ and ‘y’ are in an inverse variation then which of the following is correct?
(i) x – y = constant(ii) x + y = constant(iii) xy = constant(iv) x/y=constant

Answer 1

Answer:

compound X which is used as an anti freeze the molecular C2H60. X on oxidation gives compound Y which effervescence with a baking soda

So X is ethanol and Y is ethanoic acid

The chemical equation of reaction is CH3 CH2OH -CH3COOH

HERE KMnO4 is used as a catalyst.
