Question
____ ions are
common oxidizing agents that can oxidize alcohols to carboxylic
acids.
Answer
Permanganate (MnO42-), chromate (Cro42-), and dichromate (Cr2O72-) ions are
common oxidizing agents that can oxidize alcohols to carboxylic
acids.
Note: Good oxidizing agents have a high affinity for electrons (such as O2, O3, and Cl2) or unusually high oxidation states (like Mn7+ in permanganate, MnO4- ; and Cr6+ in chromate, CrO42- ).
