primary alcohols become produce aldehydes when oxidized and carboxylic acid upon further oxidation. secondary alcohol oxidation produces ketone. while tertiary alcohols has no reaction except if combustion is applied.

∙ 15y agoit depends what you want to oxidise the alcohol to,if you want to make a aldehyde then use PCC to selectively oxidise,if you want to make an acid then use a strong agent like DDQ or KMnO4

∙ 9y agoThere is no equation(no reaction), it is a formula and it depends on the type of alcohol. Two common types are ethanol(C2H5OH) and propanol(C3H7OH).

∙ 9y agoThe product that can form on oxidation of a primary alcohol is an aldehyde and then a carboxylic acid.

Mild oxidation of a primary alcohol gives an?
Aldehyde
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.
What is the oxidation number of sulphur in the equation of combustion of H2S?
The oxidation number of sulphur in H2S is 2.
Equation for the preparation of ketones from secondary alcohols?
OH O l oxidation ll R-C-R ---------------> R-C-R l H secondary Ketone alcohol
Is 1-proponal a primary alcohol?
1-proponol is a primary alcohol
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.
When a primary alcohol is strongly oxidized the product?
The product of the oxidation of a primary alcohol is a carboxylic acid.
Mild oxidation of a primary alcohol gives an?
Aldehyde
Chemical equation for the oxidation of sec-butyl alcohol?
K2Cr2Cl2P5C17Ag8888
Which organ is vital to the oxidation of alcohol?
The primary organ involved in metabolizing alcohol is the liver.
The first stage in the oxidation of a primary alcohol produces a?
aldehyde
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 does oxidation of a primary alcohol produce?
Minimal oxidation will produce an aldehyde, stronger oxidation will produce a carboxylic acid, and complete oxidation will produce carbon dioxide and water.
What happens when alcohol has been oxidised?
oxidation of alcohol results in the formation of various carbonyl compounds, depending upon the structure of alcohol. For example, oxidation of secondary alcohol results in the formation of ketone, while that of primary alcohol forms aldehyde and further oxidation forms carboxylic acids.
What is removed in oxidation of alcohol?
OIL RIG. Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of electrons, or of Hydrogen) Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss of oxygen. In answer to your question, oxidation of a primary alkanol (alcohol) gives you an alkanal or aldehyde, and what is removed is an atom of H.
Chemical equation for oxidation of butyl alcohol?
C3H7-CH2 -OH + KMnO4(Aq.) = C3H7COOH
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.
