Is N2 an oxidizing agent?
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
What product contains carboxylic acid?
reducing a carboxylic acid directly forms an aldehyde, but further reduction forms a primary alcohol reducing a ketone forms a secondary alcohol oxidation reverses these processes primary alcohol -> aldehyde -> carboxylic acid secondary alcohol -> ketone
What is the oxidizing agent in butane combustion?
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
What functional group can you get after the oxidation of a hydroxyl group?
if the alcohol is a primary alcohol the itis oxidized to give aldehyde and if secondary it gives ketone.
Are antiseptics oxidizing agents?
Not necessary, but most of the oxidizing agents are antiseptic
What is alcohol changed into during oxidizing?
pee
What is the organ responsible for oxidizing alcohol?
The liver.
What is the result when you reduce a ketone?
A Secondary Alcohol When reduced with something like lithium aluminum hydride, a ketone results in a secondary alcohol.
Is a 2-methylpentan-3-ol a primary or secondary or tertiary alcohol?
it is a secondary alcohol
Is an cyclohexanol primary or secondary alcohol?
Yes. Any compound containing an R-OH group will have a name ending in "ol". These are all alcohols.
Is ethanol primary or secondary alcohol?
In order to be a secondary alcohol, the carbon with the alcohol moiety must be bonded to two other carbons. There are only two carbons total in ethanol, so it cannot possibly be a secondary alcohol. The smallest/lowest molecular weight secondary alcohol is cyclopropanol, which has three carbons: one for the alcohol group, and two others for it to be bonded to.
What is the relative reactivity of Secondary and tertiary alcohols towards oxidation with potassium permanganate?
primary alcohol reacts the fastest towards oxidation followed by secondary alcohol and tertiary alcohol.
What is the product when secondary alcohol is oxidized?
ketone
Is isopropal alcohol acetic?
No! Acetic (more properly, Ethyl) Alcohol is C2H5OH but Isopropal Alcohol (a secondary propyl alcohol) is CH3CHOHCH3.
What is the oxidation of alcohol?
Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone. Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone.
Why does secondary alcohol react with potassium permanganate more quickly than primary alcohol?
Because a primary alcohol oxidation is a two step process. First going to an aldehyde then to a carboxylic acid. A secondary alcohol is a one step process that produces a ketone.
How does a strictly fermentative bacterium produce energy?
Strictly fermentative bacteria produce ATP, but only through glycolysis.
