(a) classify alcohols as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, to include examples with more than one alcohol group (b) state characteristic distinguishing reactions, e.g. mild oxidation with acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) colour change from orange to green

recall the reactions (reagents and conditions) by which aldehydes and ketones can be produced: (a) the oxidation of primary alcohols using acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) or acidified \( KMnO_4 \) and distillation to produce aldehydes (b) the oxidation of secondary alcohols using acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) or acidified \( KMnO_4 \) and distillation to produce ketones
