The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is correct regarding the reactions of alcohols with oxidizing agents, we can analyze the information provided in the video transcript step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants and Products - Alcohols (R-OH) can undergo oxidation to form aldehydes (R-CHO), ketones (R-CO-R'), or carboxylic acids (R-COOH) depending on the type of alcohol and the oxidizing agent used. ### Step 2: Understand the Role of Oxidizing Agents - Strong oxidizing agents like potassium permanganate (KMnO4) can oxidize primary and secondary alcohols effectively. - In acidic conditions, these oxidizing agents can lead to complete oxidation, while in basic conditions, the oxidation might be limited. ### Step 3: Analyze the Statement - The video mentions that there is no reaction between certain alcohols and oxidizing agents under specific conditions. This implies that the conditions of the reaction (acidic vs. basic) and the type of alcohol matter significantly. ### Step 4: Conclusion on Correctness - The statement that "if we take some strong oxidizing agent in basic conditions, then it will help to resist more" suggests that under basic conditions, the oxidation may not proceed as expected, which aligns with the behavior of certain alcohols. - The mention of "this is true" indicates that the speaker believes this statement about the oxidizing agent's behavior in different conditions is correct. ### Final Answer The correct statement is that the reaction of alcohols with oxidizing agents depends on the conditions (acidic or basic) and the type of alcohol. In basic conditions, some alcohols may resist oxidation.
