MHT CET 2023 Chemistry question
Which of the following is obtained as product when ethylene reacts with oxygen in presence of pd/AlO?
Answer: (A)
Solution
Ethene is oxidised by oxygen (air) in the presence of a palladium catalyst (Wacker-type oxidation, in water) to ethanal: \mathrm{2CH_2{=}CH_2 + O_2 \xrightarrow{Pd} 2CH_3CHO}. Hence (a) acetaldehyde. Acetic acid would need
