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
The reactants are methane and oxygen.
The products are carbon dioxide and water.

Determining Density and Using Density to Determine Volume or Mass
(a) Calculate the density of mercury if 1.00 × 10 g occupies a volume of 7.36 cm³
(b) Calculate the volume of 65.0 g of liquid methanol (wood alcohol) if its density is 0.791 g/mL.
(c) What is the mass in grams of a cube of gold (density = 19.32 g/cm) if the length of the cube is 2.00 cm?
(d) Calculate the density of a 374.5-g sample of copper if it has a volume of 41.8 cm³ A student needs 15.0 g of ethanol for an experiment. If the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, how many milliliters of ethanol are needed? What is the mass, in grams, of 25.0 mL of mercury (density = 13.6 g/mL)?
Answer:
density =
ρ=m/v ,m=ρv, v=m/ρ
(a)m=1*10g , v=7.36cm³
ρ=10/7.36 =1.36g/cm³
(b) m=65g, ρ=0.791 g/mL.
v= 65/0.791 =82.17g/mL
(c) ρ=19.32g/cm³, l=2cm, v=l³=8cm³
m=19..32*8=154.56g/cm³
(d) mass of copper=374.5g , v=41.8cm³
ρ=374.5/41.8 =8.96g/cm³
mass of ethanol=15g, density of ethanol=0.789g/mL
v=15/0.789 =19.01mL
volume of mecury=25mL, density of mercury=13.6g/mL
m=25*13.6=340g
<span>Of the answers listed option B looks like the most complete. Ie "Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles." the significant presence of these particles is a specific indicator of radioactive decay, i.e: unstable atoms spontaneously undergoing a nuclear reaction.</span>
1 minute equals 6e+10 nanoseconds.
