Alcohols
Primary Alcohols
RCH2OH
RCHO + H2O
RCOOH
Carboxylic Acid
Aldehyde
Using Schiff Reagent if it turns magenta quickly it's an aldehyde
Heated under reflux with excess KCr2 and H2So4
reflux prevents aldehyde from escaping before it can oxidise to a carboxylic acid
excess KCr2 ensure there's enough agent to fully oxidise to COOH
distilled will give an aq. solution
Secondary Alcohols
RCHOH
RCOR + H20
Ketone
Tertiary Alcohols
RCOH
Oxidising agent
Potassium Dichromate
(Cr2O7)2-
Turns from orange to green
Test for alkenes
Add Bromine Water and if turns colourless it is an alkene as alkanes can't add to their structure.
