    AQUEOUS SOLUTION B Y RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Considered as moderately weak oxidizing agent‚ Iodine was used for the determination of strong reductants. Standard iodine solutions were found to have smaller electrode potentials as compared with the other oxidants‚ gaining them the advantage of imparting a degree of selectivity essential in the determination of strong reducing agents amid the presence of weak agents. Although regular re-standardization was essential for Iodine solution due to its

    Bleach Oxidation of 9-Hydroxyfluorene The purpose of this experiment was to oxidize an alcohol (9-hydroxyfluorene) to a ketone (9-fluorenone) using aqueous sodium hypochlorite (bleach) as the oxidizing agent‚ while introducing techniques used in microscale experiments. Reaction: Results 1. Recrystallized Product Yield Product yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100% 3mL 9-hydroxyfluorene x (1mL/1000mL) x (0.09 mol/L) = 2.7 x 10-4 moles 0.05g 9-fluorenone / (180.20g/mol) = 2.77 x 10-4
