Answer:

Explanation:

To convert ethanol (aka ethyl alcohol) to ethanoic/acetic acid, we need to use a suitable oxidising agent - an acidic solution of potassium permanganate would be one such way to do this. The alcohol is first converted into ethanal (acetaldehyde) and then to the corresponding carboxylic acid.
