Oxidation of a secondary alcohol results in the formation of a(n):. a) tertiary alcohol b) acid c) aldehyde d) ketone

A. Tertiary alcohol

Explanation:

Secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones - and that's it. For example, if you heat the secondary alcohol propan-2-ol with sodium or potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute Sulphuric acid, you get propanone formed. Playing around with the reaction conditions makes no difference whatsoever to the product.

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
