CO2 + H2O 14 of 27 what makes a suitable oxidising agent for an alcohol ? a solution containing acidified dichromate ions 15 of 27 what is an oxidising mixture for alcohols made up of ? potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid 16 of 27 during the oxidation of alcohols what colour is the acidified potassium dichromate ( oxidising agent) changes from an initial orange to green 17 of 27 when a primary alcohol is oxidised what is produced ? if heated gently it produces a aldehyde and water , if strongly heated it produces a carboxylic acid 18 of 27 when a secondary alcohol is oxidised what is produced ? ketones which cannot be oxidised further and water 19 of 27 when a tertiary alcohol is oxidised what is produced ? nothing as tertiary alcohols are resistant to oxidation. 20 of 27 define esterification the reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid to produce an ester and water 21 of 27 name conditions which are needed for an ester to be produced alcohol must be warmed with a carboxylic acid and an acid catalyst must be present 22 of 27 what is a common acid catalyst used in esterification ? concentrated sulfuric acid 23 of 27 where does the product water come from in the process of esterification ? the OH of the carboxylic acid and the H of the OH functional group of an alcohol 24 of 27 what are esters used for ? adhesives and solvents in the chemical industry to produce food flavourings and perfumes 25 of 27 define dehydration an elimination reaction in which water if removed from the saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule 26 of 27 when an alcohol is dehydrated what products are produced? an alkene 27 of 27
