Q. What is the product in the reaction $CH_{3}MgBr\underset{(ii)H_{2}O}{\overset{\ \ \ (i)CO_{2}\ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}X?$
A) Acetaldehyde
B) Acetic acid
C) Formic acid
D) Formaldehyde
Explanation
(b)
Grignard reagent produce carboxylic acid on reaction with $CO_{2}$
$CH_{3}MgBr + CO_{2} \rightarrow CH_{3}COOMgBr\overset{H_{2}O\ }{\rightarrow}CH_{3}COOH + Mg(OH)Br$
