लघु उत्तरीय
उत्तर
-
Acidified Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4): When used in an acidic medium, KMnO4 effectively oxidises primary alcohols to carboxylic acids by providing the necessary oxygen atoms for the formation of the acid.
-
Acidified Potassium Dichromate (K2Cr2O7): In the presence of dilute sulphuric acid, potassium dichromate acts as an oxidising agent (often referred to as chromic acid in this context) that converts primary alcohols into carboxylic acids.
