Why does burning of ethanol gives CO2 while ethanol when oxidized with alkaline KMnO4 produces ethanoic acid.

Answers

Answered by WhitEDeviLll

Explanation:

When ethanol reacts with chromic anhydride(CrO3), only partial oxidation occurs and ethanal is formed.

CrO₃

CH₃CH₂OH ====>CH₃CHO

On the other hand, when ethanol is heated with alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4), it produces ethanoic acid due to complete oxidation.

alkaline KMnO₄

CH₃CH₂OH ====> CH₃COOH
