Just check for how many carbon groups are attached to the carbon group that OH is on. Since OH can only bond to one carbon, you see how many other carbons are attached to that one. The maximum is 3, since carbon usually only has 4 bonds total, making it tertiary structure. Likewise, 2 carbon groups attached to that carbon makes it secondary, and one C group is primary. Just write out a diagram and it should be easy!
What else can I help you with?
Compare the relative ease of oxidation of primary secondary and tertiary butyl alcohol toward acid dichromate based on the time required for the solution to change color?
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 are three types of consumers in terms of primary secondary and?
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
What are the colors in the color wheel in order?
Yellow (primary color) Yellow-Green (tertiary color) Green (secondary color) Blue-Green (tertiary color) Blue (primary color) Blue-Purple (tertiary color) Purple (secondary color) Red-Purple (tertiary color) Red (primary color) Orange-Red (tertiary color) Orange (secondary color) Yellow-Orange (tertiary color) (and then you are back at yellow)
What classification of alcohol is resistant to oxidation?
Primary alcohols are more resistant to oxidation compared to secondary and tertiary alcohols. This is because primary alcohols have a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group, which can be oxidized to form an aldehyde or carboxylic acid.
What classification of alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone?
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.

What is the relative reactivity of Secondary and tertiary alcohols towards oxidation with potassium permanganate?
Tertiary alcohols are more reactive towards oxidation with potassium permanganate compared to secondary alcohols. This is because the presence of more alkyl groups in tertiary alcohols stabilizes the intermediate carbocation formed during oxidation.
