Question

Find out the product 'P' :
$2C{H}_4+O_2\underset{100atm}{\overset{Cu/523K}{\to }}P$

• A. $HCHO$
• B. $C{H}_{3}OH$
• C. $H_{2}O$
• D. $C{H}_{3}CHO$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $C{H}_{3}OH$

Controlled oxidation is used for the given conversion which is process of heating the substance in a regulated supply of $O_2$/air at high pressure and in the presence of a catalyst to produce various oxidation products.
$2C{H}_4+O_2\underset{100atm}{\overset{Cu/523K}{\to }}2C{H}_{3}OH$
Hence, correct option is 'b'
