Solution

In an organic reaction, a reagent reacts with a reactant molecule to produce an intermediate which is converted into final products.
The oxidation of alkane in the presence of Copper $(Cu)$ at $200 ° C$ forms alcohol as the major product
Methane $({CH}_{4})$ forms Methanol $({CH}_{3} OH)$ on oxidation in the presence of Copper at $200 ° C$ .
The chemical reaction of the oxidation of Methane is written as:
${CH}_{4} \overset{Copper at 200 ° C}{\to} {CH}_{3} OH (Methane) (Methanol)$
