Q. Toluene can be oxidised to benzoic acid by

$H_{2} S O_{4}$

$K M n O_{4}$

$K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7}$

both (b) and (c)

Both $K M n O_{4}$ and $K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7}$ are strong oxidising agents therefore can oxidise any alkyl benzene to benzoic acid.

Q. Toluene can be oxidised to benzoic acid by

H2​SO4​

KMnO4​

K2​Cr2​O7​

both (b) and (c)

Both KMnO4​ and K2​Cr2​O7​ are strong oxidising agents therefore can oxidise any alkyl benzene to benzoic acid.

$H_{2} S O_{4}$

$K M n O_{4}$

$K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7}$

Both $K M n O_{4}$ and $K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7}$ are strong oxidising agents therefore can oxidise any alkyl benzene to benzoic acid.
