when primary alcohol is heated with dilute H2SO4 & K2Cr2O7, the products formed are carboxylic acid via an aldehyde
When secondary alcohol is heated under reflux, ketone is formed
MgCl2 is more covalent
My question: When doing the experiment under reflux why is it important that it remains open at the top?
if in the exam they say sodium dichromate rather than pottassium dichromate don't be put off by this, because the same oxidation will take place! just a word of advice!
yes when doing reflux you MUST leave the top open, otherwise the pressure will build up and boom!

my question to you is why is mgcl2 more covalent?
cheers man
Mg has a high charge of +2 & Cl is big in size thus Mg can attract electron cloud of the anion(cl-)
Thanks for the advice! i'll take note of that wouldnt have known that if you wouldnt have said
2. Explain how a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
3. What would you observe when PCl5 is added to propan-1-ol?
1. A fuel is carbon neutral if the amount of CO2 absorbed when the raw material is grown equals the amount of CO2 produced when it is manufactured and burnt.
2. A catalyst provides an alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy. Thus a greater proportion of particles have energy greater than (or equal to) activation energy.
3. Steamy white fumes. (Confirms presence of HCL) and the solution goes from orange to green. (I think).

Great answers! When you say orange to green I think you're thinking of the oxidation of alcohols with acidified potassium dichromate (VI); just stick to the white steamy fumes. Ask me some questions!

Give the balanced equation for the complete combustion of propanol.
Hiii can you explain to me this iodine bit reacting with alcohol I dont seem to understand it.. thanks
you don't need the mechanism for it, all you need to understand is that the I will displace the OH group and if it's PI3, a H3PO3 will be formed. That's it.

You can't say steamy white fumes... only say steamy fumes.. Steamy white fumes are only observed when it is mixed with ammonia

but-2-ene exists as two geometrical isomers, explain why but-2-ene exists as two geometrical isomers. (2 marks) this is a question from january 2008,though......i cuouldn't find a simple way to answer this,can anybody help me please?
