Question

What happens when isobutylene is treated with acidified potassium permanganate?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkenes react with acidified potassium permanganate. Potassium Permanganate is a strong oxidant, and will initially convert the double bond to two alcohol (OH) groups. Ethene + Acidified Potassium Permanganate --> Ethan-1,2-diol. The purple colour of permanganate will fade as the reaction proceeds....

i hope it's help to you

Answer 2

Answer is Acetone + carbon dioxide

Explanation:

• Oxidation of isobutylene with potassium permanganate gives acetone, water and carbon dioxide.

*See attachment first as reference for reaction.

• Further, Potassium Permanganate oxidizes the Methanoic Solution with production of Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) & Water ($H_2O$)

• Methanoic acid is also easily oxidized by potassium permanganate solution, it oxidizes to produce water & carbon dioxide.

*See attachment second for reference for reaction.
