Question

ethyl alcohol on oxidation with acidic k2Cr2O7 gives:

Answer 1

Answer : Ethyl alcohol on oxidation with acidic $K_2Cr_2O_7$ gives Acetic acid.

Explanation :

Oxidation : The gaining of oxygen is known as oxidation.

$K_2Cr_2O_7$ is an oxidizing agent. It oxidized the ethyl alcohol to give carboxylic acid i.e, Acetic acid.

The oxidation reaction in acidic medium is,

$CH_3CH_2OH+K_2Cr_2O_3+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CH_3COOH$

Therefore, ethyl alcohol on oxidation gives acetic acid.
