Alkane S has molecular formula C4H10. S reacts with Cl2(g) in the presence of sunlight to produce only two different monochloroalkanes, C4H9Cl. Both of these monochloroalkanes are treated with hot ethanolic KOH. They both produce the same alkene T, and no other organic products. What is produced when T is treated with hot concentrated acidified KMnO4?
ACO2 and CH3CH2CO2H
