Draw the major product of the reaction between 1-butanol and na2cr2o7, h2so4, h2o
1 answer:
The major product of reaction between 1-butanol and Na2Cr2O7 is butanoic acid.
When a primary alcohol like 1-butanol (OH is bonded to a primary carbon) is begin to oxidize in the presence of strong oxidizing reagent such as sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) and H2SO4, sulfuric acid, the stepwise oxidation take place as above firstly to the corresponding aldehyde which undergoes further oxidation to the corresponding carboxylic acid.
You can find that the formed aldehyde after first oxidation is butanal and the only organic product, due to the strong oxidizing reagent is butanoic acid.
Thus, the major product formed is butanoic acid.

Answer : The correct option is (c)
Explanation :
The given balanced chemical reaction is,
From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that
As, 3 moles of react to give 2 mole of
So, 1 mole of react to give
moles of
Thus, the conversion factor needed to convert the number of moles of to the number of moles of
produced is
Hence, the correct option is (c)
