Question

In laboratory, a student added 3 mL ethanol and 5 mL sodium carbonate in a test tube and warmed the mixture for few minutes. He then slowly added few drops of potassium permanganate to this warm solution with constant stirring. He observed that the pink colourof potassium permanganate had disappeared. This is because ………….. a) ethanol is reduced to ethane   b)ethanol is oxidized to ethane c)ethanol is reduced to ethanoic acid d)ethanol is oxidized to ethanoic acid​

Answer 1
