Primary alcohol oxidation products

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuliya22 [10]3 years ago
3 0

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

How to make Sodium thiosulfate
Arada [10]

Explanation:

Method of prepration of sodium thiosulphate - definition

In the laboratory, this salt can be prepared by heating an aqueous solution of sodium sulphite with sulphur or by boiling aqueous NaOH and sulfur according to this equation:

6NaOH + 4 S _{2} Na _{2} S ->Na _{2} S_{2}O_{3}+ 3H _{2}O.

Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the
Kaylis [27]

Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.
