c2h5oh in presence of acidified k2cr207 or alkaline kmno4 gives ch3cooh . these agents contain oxygen and act as catalysts for the reaction

Addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen or loss of electrons is known as oxidation.
Conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid involves two steps.First step includes formation of ethanal,in which removal of hydrogen from ethanol takes place.
And in second step,ethanal is converted into ethanoic acid,which involves addition of oxygen.Thus this is oxidation reaction.
