Answer 1

Concepts and reason

An organic compound and reagent is given in the reaction whose correct product needs to be formed.

The compound given is an aldehyde molecule which can either be oxidized to acid or reduced to alcohol. Firstly, identify the reagent used and then write the correct product.

Fundamentals

In oxidation reactions, either oxygen atoms are added to the compound or hydrogen is removed. There are numerous oxidizing agent which brings about oxidation of a compound to form variety of compound depending on their strength and selectivity.

An aldehyde can be oxidized to give the following product:

Consider the given compounds as shown below:

Hence, the given reaction is oxidation reaction.

${{\rm{K}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{r}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{7}}}$ results in the complete oxidation of the given reactant as shown below:

Ans:

Hence, the product of the reaction as follows:
