Oxidation of Alkenes Using Potassium Permanganate (Hot and Cold Conditions)
We've seen that KMnO4 can oxidize alcohols and aldehydes to give carboxylic acids and ketones, but this reagent can also oxidize alkenes. The product(s) will be different depending on whether we use cold basic conditions or hot acidic...

What Are Carbon Footprints
You can reduce your own contribution to climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide you release into the atmosphere. Your carbon footprint is measured by the amount of extra carbon dioxide your lifestyle adds to the...
