Two oxidising agents used for conversion of alcohol into carboxylic acid are acidified postassium di chromate and alkaline potassium permaganent.
(i). Ethanol will show no change in litmus test as ethanol is chemically neutral while carboxylic acid will turn blue litmus into red.
(ii). Ethanol do not react with sodium hydrogencarbonate while Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogencarbonate to give brisk effervesense and also carbon dioxide gas is evolved
