ethanol - C2H5OH
ethanoic acid - CH3COOH
================================
REACTION-
C2H5OH +[O] -------> CH3COOH
catalyst - K2Cr2O7[oxidizing agent]
================================
REASON -
Oxidation is the process in which oxygen is added to a compound.
in this reaction oxygen is added to alcohol and it gets converted to an acid.
therefore this reaction is an oxidation reaction.
