Answer to Question #165420 in Organic Chemistry for veron doh

Question

The substance Terylene is obtained by the condensation polymerization of benzene-1, 4-dioc acid, and ethane-1, 2-diol. 

Benzene-1, 4-dioc acid (RMM = 166g) can be prepared in the laboratory by the oxidation of 1, 4-dimethylbenzene (RMM = 106g) with acidified potassium permanganate.

(i) Wrtite a balanced equation for this reaction using [O] as the oxidizing agent.

(ii) How would the PURE acid be obtained from the reaction mixture and how would the purity of the acid be verified?

(iii) What mass of 1, 4-dimethylbenzene would be required to produce 4.8g of benzene-1, 4-dioic acids, if the percentage yield is 60%
