Yellow Flash asked:
Plz help me !!
Add 5 drops of propan-2-ol to 10 drops of sulphuric acid. Now add 2 drops of potassium dichromate solution and warm.
1.Note the smell and the color changes
2.Which reactant is oxidised in this reaction?
3.Name the organic compound formed and what homologous series does it belong to?
4.What would be the result if 2-methyl-propan-2-ol was reacted with acidified potassium dichromate ?
5.What other oxidising agents could be used for this reaction?
6.Oxidation of an alcohol produced 2-methylpropanoic acid. Name this alcohol

1. after the reaction occured, the smell will be like acetone because you will produce a ketone (acetone in specific) in the reaction given.
2. the one that will oxidized is the propan-2-ol (alcohol).
3. acetone (propanone) and it’s a ketone
4. no reaction, tertiary alcohols are resistant to oxidation
5. acidified KMnO4 and other strong oxidizing agents
6. 2-methyl-1-propanol

The propan2ol is oxidised in this way acidified kmno4 2methyl propan1ol.
