Acetic Acid Production Reactions

The video tutorial explores which chemical reaction yields the highest amount of acetic acid. It analyzes four reactions, detailing the processes and outcomes of each. Reaction A, involving butane and ozone, is identified as producing the highest yield of acetic acid. The video also provides information on accessing extended content through a Patreon membership.

Which reagent is used to cleave the alkene in the reaction with two-methyl-2-butane?

• Zinc

• Ozone

• Dimethyl sulfide

• Hydrogen peroxide

What is the final product obtained from the reaction of two-methyl-2-butane with ozone and hydrogen peroxide?

• Acetone and ethanoic acid

• Butanol and water

• Propanol and ethanol

• Methanol and carbon dioxide

What type of products are formed when pentene reacts with ozone followed by zinc and acetic acid?

• Esters

• Carboxylic acids

• Aldehydes and ketones

• Alcohols

Why is the reaction with pentene eliminated as an option for producing acetic acid?

• It produces carbon dioxide

• It forms only ketones

• It does not produce ethanoic acid

• It yields only alcohols

What is the role of potassium permanganate in the reaction with propine?

• It acts as a catalyst

• It acts as a reducing agent

• It is a strong oxidizing agent

• It is a mild oxidizing agent

What is the final product obtained from the reaction of propine with potassium permanganate under acidic conditions?

• One mole of ethanol and water

• One mole of ethanoic acid and carbon dioxide

• Two moles of ethanoic acid

• Two moles of acetone

What is the main difference in the reaction conditions between two-butyne and two-methyl-2-butane?

• Use of potassium permanganate instead of ozone

• Use of zinc instead of ozone

• Use of dimethyl sulfide instead of acetic acid

• Use of water instead of hydrogen peroxide

How many moles of ethanoic acid are produced from one mole of two-butyne?

• One mole

• Two moles

• Three moles

• Four moles

Which reaction yields the highest amount of acetic acid?

• Reaction with two-butyne

• Reaction with propine

• Reaction with pentene

• Reaction with two-methyl-2-butane
