Answer:
Butanoic acid.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, when a primary alcohol such as 1-butanol (OH is bonded to a primary carbon) is oxidized in the presence of a strong oxidizing media such as potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and sulfuric acid, the stepwise oxidation goes to the corresponding aldehyde with a further oxidation to the corresponding carboxylic acid:
Therefore, on the attached picture you can find that the formed aldehyde is butanal and the inly organic product, due to the strong oxidizing media is finally butanoic acid.
Best regards.

Answer:
Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.
Explanation:
A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.
The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.
Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,
Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.
Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.
