Question

Ethanol change into ethanoic acid balanced equation in acidic medium by redox reaction

Answer 1

C2H5OH + HCL➡️CH3COOH + CL

ethanol.

Answer 2

Hey!!!

See it is not possible by Redox reaction. It is possible by oxidation.

Oxidation - Adding of oxygen atoms or removal of hydrogen atoms.

Conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid undergoes oxidation.

C2H5OH --------> CH3COOH in presence of K2Cr2O7 (Potassium dichromate) + Dilute H2SO4 ( Sulphuric acid).
