What is the molecular formula of the product formed from the oxidation of 2-methyl-2,3-pentandiol with Jones reagent (CrO3, H , H2O)

C6H12O2

Explanation:

The Jones reagent is a reagent in organic chemistry used to convert primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones. Recall that tertiary alcohols can not be oxidized.

The compound  2-methyl-2,3-pentandiol contains one secondary and one tertiary alcohol. The secondary alcohol is oxidized to a ketone while the tertiary alcohol is not oxidized.

Hence the product of the oxidation using Jones reagent is 2-Hydroxy-2-methyl-3-pentanone with the molecular formula C6H12O2.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
