Spectrophotometric determination ofsome monohydric alcohols based on their oxidation by K<sub>2</sub>CrO<sub>4</sub>-HNO<sub>3</sub> system
359-361A simple spectrophotometric method has been developed based on the oxidation of primary and secondary monohydric alcohols by the K2 CrO4-HNO3 system, optimising K2 CrO4 and HNO3 concentrations at 1.3 x 10-2 and 3.7 mol dm- 3 respectively and analysing the product Cr(III) at 580 nm. The data obtained confirm that K2 CrO4-HNO3 system oxidises all primary alcohols employed to the respective fatty acids while a secondary alcohol is oxidised to a ketone
