(b)
Interpretation:
The product of given reactions should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Acidified potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent that converts the primary alcohol to aldehyde then finally to carboxylic acid. Whereas secondary alcohol oxidizes to ketone only. Tollens’ reagent is the alkaline solution of ammonical silver nitrate. It is an oxidizing agent that gives silver mirror with aldehydes mainly and change aldehyde to carboxylic acid.

- 18-31 Formic acid is one of the components responsible for the sting of biting ants and is injected under the skin by bee and wasp stings. The pain can be relieved by rubbing the area of the sting with a paste of baking soda (NaHCO3) and water, which neutralizes the acid. Write an equation for this reaction.arrow_forward18-19 The following compounds have approximately the same molecular weight: hexanoic acid, heptanal, and 1-heptanol.
