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

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction: SrCl2(aq) + H2CO3(aq) → SrCO3(s) + HCl (aq)

max2010maxim [7]

We will balance the equation in the following order: metals, amethals, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (the most common order).
The metal present in the equation is Sr, which is already balanced (there are 1 on each side of the equation).
The amethal present in the equation is Cl. There is 2 Cl in the left side and only one in the right side. So, we will multiply the quantity of the molecule that contains Cl by 2. Doing this, we'll obtain:

$SrCl_2_{(aq)}+H_2CO_3_{(aq)}\to SrCO_3_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}$

Looking at the equation, we can see that it is now fully balanced. Hence, a balanced equation of the reaction is:

$SrCl_2_{(aq)}+H_2CO_3_{(aq)}\to SrCO_3_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}$

How does the use of synthetic products impact the natural resource from which they are derived?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The series of chemical reactions that are used to change natural resources into synthetic products is called chemical synthesis. To make a "natural" product, the natural resource is not chemically changed as much. ... For example, the synthetic material plastic is made from petroleum, which is pumped out of the earth.
