It's 2-methylpropan-1-ol oxidized with potassium dichromate(VI) in aqueous sulphuric acid to yield 2-methylpropanoic acid (also known as isobutyric acid).
The oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide is the same as above.The Cl(V) in the chlorate ion is reduced to Cl(-I) in the chloride anion for a reduction of 6 electrons. Multiplying the reduction half reaction by 4, to use 24 electrons, and combining the oxidation and reduction half reactions gives us the net reaction.n aldehyde can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid group.
