write an equation to represent the oxidation of an alcohol.
identify the reagents that may be used to oxidize a given alcohol.
identify the specific reagent that is used to oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes rather than to carboxylic acids.
identify the product formed from the oxidation of a given alcohol with a specified oxidizing agent.
identify the alcohol needed to prepare a given aldehyde, ketone or carboxylic acid by simple oxidation.
write a mechanism for the oxidation of an alcohol using a chromium(VI) reagent.
The reading mentions that pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a milder version of chromic acid that is suitable for converting a primary alcohol into an aldehyde without oxidizing it all the way to a carboxylic acid. This reagent is being replaced in laboratories by Dess‑Martin periodinane (DMP), which has several practical advantages over PCC, such as producing higher yields and requiring less rigorous reaction conditions. DMP is named after Daniel Dess and James Martin, who developed it in 1983.
This page looks at the oxidation of alcohols using acidified sodium or potassium dichromate(VI) solution. This reaction is used to make aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids, and as a way of distinguishing between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.
Oxidizing the different types of alcohols
The oxidizing agent used in these reactions is normally a solution of sodium or potassium dichromate(VI) acidified with dilute sulfuric acid. If oxidation occurs, the orange solution containing the dichromate(VI) ions is reduced to a green solution containing chromium(III) ions. The electron-half-equation for this reaction is
Cr2O2−7+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2O
Answer:
Carboxylic acid
A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO₂H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids.
Answer:
The answer to this is
Unsaturated solution
Explanation:
An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution
The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization

Answer:
Explanation:
At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).
Hence, the <em>complete combustion reaction</em> that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.
Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).
A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.
<u>a. C₂H₄:</u>
- C₂H₄ (g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)
Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.
The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.
<u>b. C₂H₂:</u>
- 2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)
The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.
<u>с. С₃Н₈</u>
- C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O (g)
The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂
<u>d. C₂H₆</u>
- 2C₂H₆ (g) +7 O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O (g)
The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂
