Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

A stock solution of sodium sulfate NaSO4 has a concentrate of 1.00 m. The volume of this solution is 50 ml. What volume of 0.25

mylen [45]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

200 mL

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Dilution formula

We are given;

Concentration of stock solution as 1.00 M
Volume of the stock solution as 50 mL
Molarity of the dilute solution as 0.25 M

We are required to calculate the volume of diluted solution;

The stock solution is the original solution before dilution while diluted solution is the solution after dilution.
Using the dilution formula we can determine the volume of diluted solution;

M1V1 = M2V2

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = M1V1 ÷ M2

= (1.00 M × 50 mL) ÷ 0.25 M

= 200 mL

Therefore, a volume of 200mL of 0.25 M solution could be made from the stock solution.
