Topics and outcomes this question is testing.
Describe nucleophilic substitution reactions (specifically: a. the reaction with NaOH(aq) and heat to produce an alcohol b. the reaction with KCN in ethanol and heat to produce a nitrile. c. the reaction with NH3 in ethanol heated under pressure to produce an amine. d. the reaction with aqueous silver nitrate in ethanol as a method of identifying the halogen present as exemplified by bromoethane).
Describe the oxidation with acidified K2Cr2O7 or acidified KMnO4 to: carbonyl compounds by distillation, carboxylic acids by refluxing (primary alcohols give aldehydes which can be further oxidized to carboxylic acids, secondary alcohols give ketones, tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized).
