Question:
Aldehydes form from the oxidation of alcohols. If you add water to an aldehyde, you get an aldehyde hydrate.
What type of molecule do you get if you oxidize an aldehyde hydrate?
Hint: Do the same thing to the aldehyde hydrate that you did to the alcohol.
Oxidation & Oxidizing Reagents:
Oxidation is the process in which electrons are removed from the element, which causes an increase in the oxidation state of the element. The oxidizing reagents are the reagents used to oxidize the compound by accepting an electron from oxidized species.
