Name and draw (as displayed
formula) the two products of this reaction.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohols can be oxidised by a variety of oxidising agents. Sodium or potassium dichromate acidified with dilute sulphuric acid can bring about oxidation in straight chained alcohols.

Answer 2

2-methylbutan-1-ol is oxidised by potassium dichromate: 2-methylbutan-1-ol + [O] ==> 2-methylbutan-1-al + water CH3CH2CH(CH3) CH2OH + [O] ==> CH3CH2CH(CH3) CHO + H2O
