This kind of reaction pro
This kind of reaction produces an aldehyde from an alcohol. Hexavalent chromium compounds like dichromates promote this kind of reaction, as do all electron acceptors. This happens to carbon in combustion reactions. This process occurs first for less "noble" materials in the galvanic series. To balance this kind of half-reaction, electrons are added to the (*) right-hand side. This kind of reaction happens at the anode, and it happens to iron to form rust. For 10 points, name this kind of reaction that involves the loss of an electron and is contrasted with reduction.
