bhai kaise pata chalega ki ye wala catylist use karna hoga
Because these are oxidizing agents and this is a oxidation reaction.
ye oxidation reaction hai tumhe kaise pata
catalysts are not used in this reaction ... oxidising agents are used

Hi !
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) can be converted to acetic acid(ethanoic acid) , by oxidation reaction.
This reaction is done in the presence of oxidising agents like alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) or acidified Potassium dichromate(K₂Cr₂O₇)
alkaline KMnO₄
CH₃CH₂OH --------------------------> CH₃COOH
acidified K₂Cr₂O₇
(Oxidation reaction - addition of oxygen {or removal of hydrogen} is known as oxidation reaction)

how many types of reaction in organic chemistry
in class 11 and 12
sorry , i have no clue about it , I'm in 10th
