(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reagent used in the given reaction is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) is used to oxidize secondary alcohols to ketones. It is a very strong oxidant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reagent used in the given reaction is to be identified.

Concept introduction: PCC oxidizes 1° alcohols into aldehydes and secondary alcohols into ketones. PCC does not convert aldehydes into carboxylic acids, in contrast to chromic acid.
