Reagents: Potassium dichromate and concentrated sulfuric acid (catalyst) Conditions: Heat under reflux The process which happens when a secondary alcohol is converted to a ketone is called oxidation.

pH = -log([H+])

Therefore, 10^(-pH) = [H+]

[H+] = 4.57x10^-3

We must remember that negative energies (in any context) generally represent energetically stable configurations and as the energy of a system increases, it will become more unstable.

Firstly, ioni...

First it is important to know the molecular formula for pentane and the products of the combustion reaction so that we can write the unbalanced equation. From the prefix 'pent' we know that the hydrocarbo...
