Question

what happen what ethanol is oxidised

Answer 1

when ethanol is oxidised with mild oxidising agents it forms acetaldehyde and when oxidised with strong oxidising agents it forms acetic acid

Answer 2

The oxidation process of ethanol results in the loss of hydrogen. The ethonal is oxidised by sodium dichromate forming the aldehyde ethanol.

Explanation:

• The ethanol is oxidised to ethanoic acid by adding the oxygen atom.  
• This sodium is acidified in dilute suphuric acid. The ethanol also undergo the bacterial oxidation to form the ethanoic acid.
• The acetobacter bacteria uses the atmospheric oxygen to form the product.
• Hence it depends on type of reaction by chemical or biochemical.
