Methyl alcohol on oxidation with acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ gives ethanoic acid.
Explanation:
- When methyl alcohol is oxidized with acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ to produce ethanal.
- Ethanal continuously reacts with acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ to produce ethanoic acid.
CH₃OH + [O] → CH₃CHO + [O] → CH₃COOH
- Ethanoic acid is methyl group attached to carboxyl group. It is used to produce wood glue and photographic film.
- It is also present in ants (formic acid).
