<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidizing agent is defined as the chemical reagent which helps the other chemical compound to get oxidized and itself gets reduced. The oxidation state for these species gets reduced because they are undergoing reduction reaction.

For the given chemical equation:

$K_2Cr_2O_7+14HCl\rightarrow 2CrCl_3+2KCl+3Cl_2+7H_2O$

Oxidation state of Chromium is getting reduced from +6 to +3 and oxidation state of chlorine getting increased from -1 to 0.

Hence, $K_2Cr_2O_7$ acts like and oxidizing agent because it is itself getting reduced to $CrCl_3$

Therefore, the correct answer is Option b.

Butanal, an aldehyde, can be made from 1-bromobutane, but it requires two reactions in sequence. What are the two reagents that

hammer [34]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

My aim is to convert 1-bromobutane to butanal. The first step is to react the 1-bromobutane substrate with water. This reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism to yield 1-butanol. Hence reagent A is water.

1-butanol is now reacted with an oxidizing agent such as acidified K2Cr2O7 (reagent B) to yield butanal. Note that primary alkanols are oxidized to alkanals.

These sequence of reactions are shown in the image attached.
