Answer 1

Answer:-

a)

Сн, | Го] а) HC-C-CH, – ОН — СН. ТСН, Оy |Н, С – С – С – H + H, 0 CH, --

This reaction involves the oxidation of 2,2-dimethylpropanol (primary alcohol) to form 2,2-dimethylpropanal (aldehyde).

b)

- CH₂ HO-CH-CH-CH TO CH, CH3 To=C-CH-CH₃ + H₂O CH₂

This reaction involves the oxidation of 3-methyl-2-butanol (secondary alcohol) to form 3-methyl-2-butanone (ketone).
