Vedclass · Answer

(C) The oxidation of a secondary alcohol using acidified $K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}$ yields a ketone.Ketones react with phenyl hydrazine to form phenylhydrazones but do not give the silver mirror test (Tollens' test),which is specific to aldehydes.Among the given options,$(CH_{3})_{2}CHOH$ is a secondary alcohol (propan$-2-$ol),which on oxidation gives acetone $(CH_{3}COCH_{3})$,a ketone.Therefore,the correct structure of $X$ is $(CH_{3})_{2}CHOH$.

An organic compound $X$ is oxidised by using acidified $K_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}$. The product obtained reacts with phenyl hydrazine but does not answer the silver mirror test. The possible structure of $X$ is
