Question:
a. i. Write a balanced equation for the oxidation of ethanol to ethanal, using [O] to represent an oxygen atom from the oxidising agent.
ii. Give practical details to explain how you would use the reaction described in part a i to prepare and collect a sample of ethanal.
b. i. Write a balanced equation for the oxidation of butan-2-ol to butanone, using [O] to represent an oxygen atom from the oxidising agent.
ii. What do you observe in the reaction vessel if the oxidising agent used in part b i is potassium dichromate(VI) solution, acidified with dilute sulfuric acid, and the reaction mixture is heated?
