However, the conditions used are often vigorous and require theuse of specialized equipment. By comparison, the product of a "chemical"oxidation may be more difficult to purify due to the presence of the reducedform of the oxidizing agent and potential "tars" that may arise from "over-oxidation". Because chemical oxidation can be carried out using conventionalequipment they are more popular.dissolving sodium or potassium dichromate in acid is a commonly usedoxidizing agent, being classed as a relatively powerful oxidant and havingwater soluble by-products (Cr III salts). Sulphuric acid is generally used if thematerial to be oxidized is water soluble and glacial acetic acid is used if it isChromic acid, prepared in-situ bynot.Alcohols are readily oxidized to carbonyl compounds by chromic acid.Secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones and primary alcohols givealdehydes which are themselves in turn oxidized further to carboxylic acids.The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the oxidation ofcyclohexanol to cyclohexanone and improve your laboratory skills inpreparative organic chemistry.ProcedurePlace an aliquot of distilled water (30ml) into a 100ml round bottomed flask(placed on a cork ring). Carefully measure out 10ml of concentrated sulphuricacid in a dry measuring cylinder and slowly add it to the round bottomed flask.A little acid can be gently poured down a glass rod and then the flask swirledand the process repeated until all the acid has been added (NOTE: youshould never add water to concentrated acid, it should always be done theother way around and with care!).Place a thermometer into the mixture and cool the flask in a water bath untilthe temperature is below 200C.
