Question

which of the following can oxidise ethanol to ethanoic acid
a-alkaline KMnO4
b-cons H2SO4
c-acidified K2Cr2O7
d-all of them​

Answer 1

Explanation:

HI HERE IS THE ANSWER

ETHANOL CAN BE OXIDISE INTO ETHANOIC ACID BY ALKALINE KMnO4.

Answer 2

C is the correct answer.

✓✓✓✓By oxidizing ethanol by a strong agent like acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) or alkaline potassium dichromate (KMnO4), one can convert it to ethanoic acid. this reaction is performed in hot acidic potassium permanganate or potassium dichromate.

✓✓✓✓Ethanol is oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate to give acetaldehyde,which is further oxidised by same oxidising agent to form ethanoic acid or acetic acid.
