A first-year chemistry student wanted to classify three
unknown alcohols or aldehyde. He solicited the assistance of Joe a
current second-year student reading for a B.Sc. in chemistry.
Answer the following questions that Joe needs to consider before
making his determination.
a) Complete the equation below for one of the possible
reactions
R2CHOH + CrO3 + H2SO4
→
b) In attempting the above reaction using the unknowns, a green
colour was observed. Account for the formation of this green
colour.
c) State the name of the class of organic product that is formed
during the above reaction.
d) Suggest a title for this experiment.
