Q

Explain oxidation of tertiary alcohols?

A

They cannot be oxidised because the carbon that the hydroxyl group is attached to is not bonded to any hydrogen atoms

Q

How does acidified dichromate effect aldehydes and ketones?

A

Aldehydes- solution changes from orange to green

Ketones- solution remains orange

17
Q

How does fehlings test effect aldehydes and ketones?

A

Aldehydes- solution changes from blue to brick red precipitate
Ketones- solution remains blue

18
Q

How does tollens test effect aldehydes and ketones?

A

Aldehydes- silver mirror forms

Ketones- no solver mirror forms

19
Q

Why can aldehydes be oxidised?

A

There is a hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl carbon and this carbon-hydrogen bond can be broken and a new bond to the oxygen of the ‘OH’ group can form

20
Q

Why can’t ketones be oxidised?

A

They don’t have a hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl carbon which means carbon-carbon bond would have to be broken

21
Q

What happens when food reacts with the oxygen in the air?

A

They oxidise and become rancid

22
Q

What is an antioxidant?

A

A reducing agent that oxidises easily so prevents other substances in the food from being oxidised

23
Q

How do you identify the antioxidant in an equation?

A

Find the reducing agent
