Answer:
Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. ... The water‐conducting xylem cells provide an internal hydrophobic surface facilitating water transport as well as mechanical strength.
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:
The candle ran out of oxygen
Explanation:
There is a concept known as the fire triangle, the three things present for a fire to start and burn. Heat, Oxygen, Fuel. Take any one of the three away and the fire goes out. Pour water on a fire, and it absorbs the heat, put a jar over it, it removes the oxygen, stop adding wood to a campfire it goes out.
Answer:
The <u>detection</u> of iron in a mixture of metals for example , or in a compound such as magnetite, is a branch of analytical chemistry called qualitative analysis. <u>Measurement</u> of the actual amount of a certain substance in a compound or mixture is termed quantitative analysis.
