Interpretation:
The product formed by the oxidation of 2-pentanol with potassium dichromate should be determined.
Concept Introduction: The oxidation of primary alcohols with potassium dichromate, K2 Cr2 O7, results in the formation of aldehyde of corresponding alcohol which on further oxidation gives carboxylic acid. Whereas the oxidation of secondary alcohols with potassium dichromate, K2 Cr2 O7, results in the formation of ketone of corresponding alcohol.
