Question

In the reaction :
$ A \ce{->[K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}][H_{2}SO_{4}]} $ acetone $ \ce{->[{\text{oxidation}}]} $ acetic acid, $ A $ is

• A. $ 1 $ - propanol
• B. $ 2 $ - butanol
• C. $ 2 $ - propanol
• D. ethanol

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\underset{\text{2-propanol}}{\ce{CH3CHOCH3}}$ $\ce{->[K_2Cr_2O_7][H_2SO_4]}$ $\underset{\text{Acetone}}{\ce{CH3COCH3}}$$\ce{->[\text{oxidation}]}$ $\underset{\text{Acetic acid}}{\ce{CH3COOH}}$
