Interpretation:
Accomplishment of each of the given transformations is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Swern Oxidation converts primary and secondary alcohols into
Reduction of
Chromic acid oxidation: Oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes and use of hydronium (aqueous medium) to further oxidize the aldehydes to
Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PPC): PPC is formed from pyridine, hydrochloric acid and chromium oxide. This allows for controlled oxidation since this reaction takes place in anhydrous conditions.
Potassium Permanganate: Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. It converts the primary alcohols and aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids. It converts secondary alcohols to ketones. This is not a controlled reaction since the reaction occurs in aqueous medium.
When an oxidation takes place, the hydrogen atom attached to the oxygen atom is removed to form aldehydes from alcohols, or to form carboxylic acids from aldehydes. Compounds with no hydrogen attached to oxygen cannot be oxidized using Swern oxidation. Examples of such compounds are tertiary alcohols and ethers.

You are trying to determine the rate law expression for a reaction that you are completing at 25°C. You measure the initial reaction rate and the starting concentrations of the reactions for 4 trials.
