Hello Dear.

When 1- propanol undergoes oxidation with acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ , It gives Aldehyde and then further formed carboxylic acid.

Reaction :-
_____________________________
CH₃CH₂CH₂OH  ----K₂Cr₂O₇----→ CH₃CH₂CHO + H₂O

CH₃CH₂CHO    ---K₂Cr₂O₇------→ CH₃CH₂COOH + H⁺
_____________________________


Reason / Explanation:-

It means In the presence of acidified K₂Cr₂O₇

Primary alcohal --→ Aldehyde + water --→ Carboxylic acid + H⁺ .

So , the product formed is Propanoic acid 


Hope it Helps.
