Question

Write the chemical equations for the reactions of ethanol with alkaline pottasium permanganate? Ethanol acid with sodium hydrogen carbonate? Ethanol with oxygen?

Answer 1

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 .
