Let us carry out the Conversions
Explanation:
(1)Ethanoic acid from ethanol
It can be converted by complete oxidation of ethanol .This is done in presence of strong oxidising agent like alk.KMnO₄.
CH₃CH₂OH------> CH₃COOH
Alk.KMnO₄
(2) Ethane from ethene
It can be made by hydrogenation in presence of reducing agents like Ni etc .
CH₂CH₂ + H₂-------->CH₃CH₃
Ni
