Oxidation test with acidified solution K2 Cr2 O7
Oxidation test with acidified K2 Cr2 O7 solution.
1:- P alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde which on further oxidation . Gives acid having same number of C - atoms as original
alcohol.
2:- Second alcohol on oxidation gives a ketone which on drastic oxidation . Gives a mixture of acids which contains less number of c atoms as the original alcohol.
3:- Tertiary alcohol is resistant to oxidation , but on drastic oxidation . With HNO³ yield a mixture of acids and ketones each are having less number of C - atoms than the original alcohol.
