The oxidizing agents used for the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid are alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7).

S. No. Test Ethanol Ethanoic Acid
(i) Litmus Test No change in colour of litmus solution. Blue litmus solution turns red.
(ii) Reaction with sodium carbonate No brisk effervescence. Brisk effervescence due to the evolution of CO2

Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction? 1 Answers 1 views
write chemical equation of the reaction of ethanoic acid with the following : (i) Sodium (ii) Sodium hydroxide (iii) Ethanol.

(i) 2CH3COOH + 2Na→ 2CH3COONa+H2 Sodium ethanoate/Sodium acetate (ii)CH3COOH + NaOH→ CH3COONa + H2O Sodium ethanoate/Sodiurn acetate (iii) CH3COOH+C2H5OH → CH3COOC2H5+H2O Ethyal ethanoate/Ester

What will happen if ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid, in the presence of an acid ? Name the reactions.

lf ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid in presence of an acid, the ester is formed.  The reaction is called esterification reaction. Chemical equation: CH3OH+CH3COOH+H+ →  CH3COOCH3+H2O
