Answer:
Chemical reaction equation as :
CH₃ CH₂OH + Alk. KMnO₄ → CH₃COOH
We know :
In oxidation reaction there is addition of oxygen and removal of
hydrogen .
In this case oxygen is added ( one O atom ) and hydrogen is
removed out .
Since it followed the method of redox or oxidation reaction .
That's why this conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction .
