(b)
Interpretation:
The product of given reactions should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Acidified potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent that converts the primary alcohol to aldehyde then finally to carboxylic acid. Whereas secondary alcohol oxidizes to ketone only. Tollens’ reagent is the alkaline solution of ammonical silver nitrate. It is an oxidizing agent that gives silver mirror with aldehydes mainly and change aldehyde to carboxylic acid.
