Answer:
It is a oxidation reaction. The ready oxidation of phenol is explained by the fact that the presence of OH group on the benzene ring increases electron density to the ring due to resonance which makes it for oxidation reaction. Phenol on oxidation with potassium dichromate in acidic medium gives benzoquinone.
