Question

1. What is oxone?

2. When preforming a chemical test to check that the oxidant was fully quenched, we used potassium iodide and two drops of acetic acid mix with the aqueous layer of an oxidation reaction solution form (-) borneal to boreone. What chemical was resonsible for the dark brown color that is indicative of a positive test?

3. We have called this oxidation green. What does the term mean, and in which way can we say that the process is green? Explain briefly by using the exact conditions in this process, such as termperature, solvent, and nature of oxidant. (we did this in room temperature, with ethyl acetate as solvent, oxidant was oxone)

Question 4. A student did a similar oxidation reaction as in this experiment, see scheme below. At the end, she obtained an IR spectrum of the product. Does the product appear pure, based on this spectrum? If not, what do you think a major impurity can be? Explain. (5 points) OH oxidation cyclohexanol cyclohexanone

Explanation / Answer

1.* Potassium peroxymonosulphate is named as oxone.

* Chemical formula of oxone is KHSO5.

* Oxone can be used as oxidising agent, it can oxidise alkenes into epoxide as well as acids, and aldehydes into acids.

* For swimming pools cleaning also it can be useful.

* Using water we can decompose oxone.
