Welcome to the first Educational Episode of Molecular Playground! In this one, I highlight the principles of redox reactions starring chromic acid! Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from an oxidizing agent to a reducing agent. This is very useful for making ketones and carboxylic acids from simple alcohols. It also helps to detoxify the mutagenic chromium-6 to the safer chromium-3.
