Question

give the balanced equation of the reaction in which alcohol is connected to carboxylic acid. why it is called oxidation reaction? what is the role of oxidising agent in it?

Answer 1

I hope this helps you.

CH3COOH+C2H5OH ----------> CH3COOC2H5+H20.

It is called oxidation reaction as hydrogen is removed from alcohol and form water h2o.

role:-- Gain electon and reduce the reaction.

thanks.
