Use acidified dichromate or permanganate to explain oxidation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
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).
