this is good oxidising agent so it oxidise both primery and secondery alcohols.primery oxidise into aldehyde which further oxidise into same number of carbon atom acid while sec. alcohol oxidise into ketones which further oxidise into less number of carbon acids.always remember tertiary alcohol cannot undergo oxidation by these oxidising agent due to absence of redusing hydrogen.
