b..... K2Cr2O7
c..... CrO3
d.... PCC.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• pls mark as brainliest friend

Explanation:

Oxidation of ethanol using acidified potassium dichromate gives ethanal in first step which on further oxidation by same oxidising agent gives ethanoic acid.

.

• the answer is option (b......)k2cr207

Answer 2

The best oxidizing agent to convert Ethanol to Ethanal is

Acidiefied Potassium Dichromate [ K2Cr2O7]

Reason :

Ethyl alcohol undergoes Oxidation to form a product Ethanal [ Acetadehyde] and finally to acetic acid

                     acidified K2Cr2O7

CH3CH2OH --------------------------> CH3CHO -------------> CH3 COOH
