Hey dear,
● Answer -
Ethanoic acid.
● Solution -
- Copper oxide reacts with primary alcohols to give aldehydes which on further oxidation gives carboxylic acids.
- When vapors of ethanol are passed over copper oxide, acetaldehyde (ethanal) is formed which on further oxidation gives ethanoic acid.
CH3-CH2-OH + CuO ---> CH3-CHO + Cu + H2O
* Ethanal and ethanoic acid both are formed here, but ethanoic acid is more final product.
Hope this helps you...
