Yes. Under proper conditions, ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal (also called "acetaldehyde"), acetic acid, and/or carbon dioxide.
YES
Acetic Acid.
* To be an oxidation reaction electrons have to be lost. * Any reaction that results in electrons being lost can be described as an oxidation reaction.
This is an oxidation reaction (burning of ethanol).
Acetic acid bacteria gains energy from the oxidation of acetic acid and ethanol during the fermentation period. The are found in areas where ethanol is produced by the fermentation of sugars.
no
oxidation n reduction of ethanol
YES
Acetic Acid.
Ethanol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde which can be further oxidised to acetic acid
yes
* To be an oxidation reaction electrons have to be lost. * Any reaction that results in electrons being lost can be described as an oxidation reaction.
Oxidation is a chemical reaction; but a physical modification can also occur.
Chemical reactions that result in transference of electrons
Oxidation is a chemical reaction; but a physical modification can also occur.
