Answer:
Aldehydes are made by oxidising primary alcohols. There is, however, a problem. The aldehyde produced can be oxidised further to a carboxylic acid by the acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution used as the oxidising agent. In order to stop at the aldehyde, you have to prevent this from happening.
