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...
