Convert Ch4 to Ch3OH with K2Cr2O7 |
|
Answer» is a strong OXIDISING agent.There is a simple conversion that when an alkane is TREATED with K2Cr2O7 then, we get an ALDEHYDE. But when the reaction is controlled, we can get an ALCOHOL.CH4 + [O] ---K2Cr2O7-----› CH3OH Here, [O] is a nascent OXYGEN. The conversion takes place as followsAlkane -----› Alcohol -------› Aldehyde -------› Carboxylic acid.This takes place when we use mild oxidising agents (like CuO) and the steps are skipped by one when we use Strong oxidising agents.Thanks.Hope this helps you..!! |
