Ethane on heating with a regulated supply of air at high pressure in presence of manganese acetate forms 'Q'…

Ethane on heating with a regulated supply of air at high pressure in presence of manganese acetate forms 'Q', 'Q' is
  1. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}$
  2. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$
  3. $\mathrm{HCOOH}$
  4. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_3+3 \mathrm{O}_2 \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}\right)_2 \mathrm{Mn}} \\ 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\end{aligned}$
