preparation of acetic acid from ethanol

Answers

Answered by Talentedhero74

As ethanol is primary alcohol, so on oxidation of ethanol by nascent oxygen (obtained from K2Cr2O7+Dil.H2SO4) it forms aldehyde(acetaldehyde) first and then again on further oxidation by nascent oxygen it forms acetic acid or ethanoic acid (carboxylic acid).
