Question #8338c

Answer 1

Oxalic acid

Explanation:

Acetylene ozonide formed by addition of ozone molecule to acetylene molecule when treated with water in absence of Zn, glyoxal `(CHOCHO`) and hydrogen peroxide (`H_2O_2`) are first produced. But in absence of Zn( which produces reducing atmosphere preventing oxidation of glyoxal `(CHOCHO`) to oxalic acid), the glyoxal produced is oxdised by hydrogen peroxide (`H_2O_2`) to oxalic acid.
