Best Answer

primary alcohols react the fastest, with secondary alcohols next and tertiary alcoholsnot reacting at all. This is because the mechanism of this reaction is Sn1 which is a substituion reaction that favors attack on less crowded molecules

What is principle of potassium dichromate in COD estimation?

The titer volume of the sample gives the volume of Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate required to react with the excess potassium dichromate in the solution. Similarly, the titer volume for the blank (distilled water) gives the volume of Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate required to react with the excess potassium dichromate in the blank. The equation for the titration can be expressed as: Cr2O72 -- + FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4 = Cr+ + NH4+ + Fe 3+ From above equation it can be seen that one molecule of dichromate corresponds to one molecule of Mohr's salt. Thus, the difference in volume of excess K2Cr2O7 reacting with Mohr's solution can be calculated from the expression: = (Original vol. K2Cr2O7 -- vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) solution - (Original vol. K2Cr2O7 -- vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) blank = (Vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) blank - Vol. of K2Cr2O7 used for oxidation) solution Hence, the difference in the titer volume for the solution and the blank is used to find out the Chemical Oxygen Demand directly.
