Answer 1

Nascent oxygen is a highly reactive form of oxygen that plays a crucial role in various chemical reactions.

We are to draw the organic product expected from the oxidation reaction

First, we must write the product of the reaction. This given to us is an alcohol and, the another one is nascent oxygen that is present in excess amount so it will on reaction with alcohol give carboxylic acid.

The reaction is shown below in image 1.

We should note that nascent oxygen is good oxidising agent
