I can give the equation
In combustion
c2H5OH +3O2 = 2Co² + 3H²O
In oxidation
C2H5OH ____(alkaline KMno4)___CH³COOH
In combustion
c2H5OH +3O2 = 2Co² + 3H²O
In oxidation
C2H5OH ____(alkaline KMno4)___CH³COOH
JessicaMalik:
I want the difference
see in ocidation ethenol is oxidised in presence of alkalime KMno4 to get ethanoic acid
but in combustion ethenol is react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide nd water
Okay
In combustion of ethanol carbon dioxide and water are formed along with heat and light energy but in oxidation ethanioc acid is formed.

combustion of ethanol -
1)carbon dioxide and water are formed as products
2)heat and light energy is released
3)catalyst is not required but bit ignition temperature is required
Oxidation reaction of ethanol -
1)ethanoic acid as product is formed
2)two oxygen atoms are added and when hydrogen atom is remoced
3)catalyst such as alkaline potassium permagnet or acidified potassium dichromate is required
