Question

write the chemical equation for the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid in the presence of KMnO4?

Answer 1

1) Ethanol can be converted into acetic acid by treating it with alkaline KMnO4 or acidified K2Cr2O7 and heating.
(2) Ethene can be converted into ethane by carrying out the its hydrogenation in the presence of nickel as the catalyst. Following is the chemical equation for the reaction.

Answer 2

Hey

The chemical reaction is :-


C2H5OH + O2 + ( KMnO4 ) + ( K2Cr2O7 )

----> CH3COOH + H2O .

Here ,

C2H5OH is ethanol

It goes reaction with th oxygen ( oxidation reaction ) .

In the presence of two catalyst :-

KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7

to form :-

CH3COOH :- ethanoic acid
and water respectively .

This reaction should be written in one line , but sorry due to lack of space i couldn't . And catalyst must be on the up or down of arrow .


thanks :)
