Answer 2

Ethanol retards the rate of oxidation reaction and acts as negative catalyst is the role of ethanol.

• Ethanol belongs to the family of alcohol group. It is given by the formula C2H5OH.
• The chloroform represented by the formula CHCl3, undergoes oxidation in presence of atmospheric oxygen. The product formed is carbonyl chloride. It is also known as phosgene and is poisonous in nature.
• Since ethanol inhibits this oxidation reaction, it is a negative catalyst.
