Step-by-step solution

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Oxidizing and reducing agents

Oxidizing agents are species that can oxidize (i.e., provide oxygen) to another species).

Reducing agents are species that can reduce (i.e., provide hydrogen) to another species).

The products of reactions a and b

The organic products formed in reactions a and b are as follows:

a.

Reaction a

The reaction of an alcohol with the oxidizing agent $\left({\mathrm{CrO}}_3\right)$in acidic medium yields the corresponding carboxylic acid.

b.

Reaction b

Potassium permanganate $\left({\mathrm{KMnO}}_4\right)$oxidizes the alkyl groups on a benzene ring into carboxylic acids.

The products of reactions c and d

The organic products formed in reactions c and d are as follows:

c.

Reaction c

The ozonolysis of an alkyne yields the corresponding carboxylic acid.

d.

Reaction d

The reaction of an alcohol with the oxidizing agent $\left({\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{Cr}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7\right)$ in acidic medium yields the corresponding carboxylic acid.
