A Tertiary alcohol
Chromic Acid
The color of the reaction of 2-Methyl-2-propanol and chromic acid typically changes from orange to green as the chromium (VI) ion in chromic acid is reduced to chromium (III) during the oxidation of the alcohol.
One can test for methanol in alcohol by using a simple chemical test called the chromic acid test. This test involves mixing a small amount of the alcohol with chromic acid and sulfuric acid, and observing the color change. If methanol is present, the solution will turn green.
I like to believe that I am correct in saying... Chromous Acid. Chromite being the polyatomic ion.
Toluene can be oxidized to benzoic acid using a strong oxidizing agent, such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chromic acid (H2CrO4). The reaction typically occurs under acidic conditions. The methyl group of toluene is oxidized to a carboxylic acid group, resulting in the formation of benzoic acid.
The reaction of isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) with chromic acid typically results in the oxidation of isopropyl alcohol to acetone. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction can be expressed as: [ \text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{O} + \text{CrO}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O} + \text{Cr}^{3+} + \text{H}_2\text{O} ] In this reaction, isopropyl alcohol is oxidized, and chromic acid is reduced.

To convert benzyl alcohol to 2-phenylethanoic acid, you would first need to oxidize the alcohol group to a carboxylic acid group. This can be achieved by using a strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chromic acid (H2CrO4). The benzyl alcohol would be converted to benzaldehyde, and further oxidation would yield 2-phenylethanoic acid. The reaction would typically be carried out under acidic conditions to facilitate the oxidation process.

The product of the oxidation of a primary alcohol is a carboxylic acid.
Toluene can be oxidized to benzoic acid using a strong oxidizing agent, such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chromic acid (H2CrO4). The reaction typically occurs under acidic conditions. The methyl group of toluene is oxidized to a carboxylic acid group, resulting in the formation of benzoic acid.
Hypochlorous acid is a stronger oxidant than Chromic acid
[edit] Use in qualitative organic analysisIn organic chemistry, dilute solutions of hexavalent chromium can be used to oxidize primary or secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. Tertiary alcohol groups are unaffected. Because of the oxidation is signaled by a color change from orange to a blue-green, chromic acid is used as a qualitative analytical test for the presence of primary or secondary alcohols.
The chromic acid oxidation mechanism for converting aldehydes involves the aldehyde reacting with chromic acid to form a carboxylic acid. This reaction typically occurs in the presence of sulfuric acid and water. The chromic acid is reduced to chromium(III) during the process.
Chromic acid is the acid in chromic acid. The chemical formula is H2CrO3 (Not correct)Added & Corrected:Often the species are assigned the formulas H2CrO4 (dihydrogen chromate) and H2Cr2O7 (dihydrogen dichromate).The anhydride of these "chromic acids" is chromium trioxide, also called chromium(VI) oxide (2CrO3=Cr2O6).Regardless of its exact formula, chromic acid features chromium in an oxidation state of +6 (or VI), the highest known.
