Question

acetic acid can be converted to ethyl alcohol by using

Answer 1

Hi !
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) can be converted to acetic acid(ethanoic acid) , by oxidation reaction.
This reaction is done in the presence of oxidising agents like alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) or acidified Potassium dichromate(K₂Cr₂O₇)
                                             alkaline KMnO₄
                   CH₃CH₂OH    -------------------------->  CH₃COOH   
                                            acidified K₂Cr₂O₇
                        
(Oxidation reaction - addition of oxygen {or removal of hydrogen} is known as oxidation reaction)
