Answer #1
Concepts and reason

The problem is based on the concept of oxidation of alcohol.

Oxidation of alcohol with strong oxidizing reagent results in the formation of carboxylic acid.

Fundamentals

An oxidizing reagent has the ability to gain electrons. Therefore, it reduces itself and oxidize the other compound. The reagent, K2CrO2
is a strong oxidizing reagent. It oxidizes primary alcohol to carboxylic acid.

Consider the reaction for the oxidation of K2CrO2
as:

К,Сг.о, + Н,SO, —н, С,О,
Сrо, + H,0
4

The reagent Сo,
3
is the strong oxidizing reagent.

Consider the reaction for the oxidation of alcohol as follows:

CH,CH,CH2OHCro,>CH,CH,CHO
