Role of the reductant (electron donor)
1) First step: from ethanol to ethanal
CH3CH2OH --> CH3CHO + 2H+ + 2e- (ethanal, acethaldehyde)
2) Second step: from ethanal to ethanoic acid
CH3CHO + H2O --> CH3COOH + 2H+ + 2e- (ethanoic acid, acetic acid)
Role of oxidant: (electron acceptor)
4H+ + 4e- + (oxidant, e.g.:) O2 --> 2H2O

What happens when ethanol is oxidised with acidified kmno4 solution?
When ethanol is oxidized with acidified KMnO4 solution, it undergoes complete oxidation to form ethanoic acid (acetic acid). The purple KMnO4 solution is reduced to green Mn2+ ions in the process.
Alcohol is this process affected by temperature?
Yes, temperature affect the concentration of alcohol. Alcohol is made up of ethanol, high temperature oxidised ethanol to ethanoic acid so the concentration of alcohol decrease.
What is the equation of the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid?
The reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid produces ethyl acetate and water in the presence of a catalyst like concentrated sulfuric acid. The equation for this reaction is: Ethanol + Ethanoic acid → Ethyl acetate + Water
What happen when ethanol is heated with alkaline kmno4 solution?
When ethanol is added to alkaline KMno4 solution, the ethanol gets oxidised to ethanoic acid due to nascent oxygen. KMno4 is an oxidising agent. thus when we first add alkaline Kmno4 to ethanol, the pink colour of the Kmno4 vanishes, as it is being used up for the oxidation process. however. when all of the ethanol has been oxidised into ethanoic acid, and we keep adding Kmno4, the colour returns, as there is no more ethanol left to oxidise.
What masses of ethanol and ethanoic acid would need to react together to give 1g of ethyl ethanoate?
To produce 1g of ethyl ethanoate, 1.08g of ethanol and 1.00g of ethanoic acid would need to react together. This is based on the stoichiometry of the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid to form ethyl ethanoate.
Ethanoic acid made from ethanol?
Ethanoic acid, also known as acetic acid, is commonly made from ethanol through a process called oxidation. During this process, ethanol is first converted into ethanal (acetaldehyde) and then further oxidized to form ethanoic acid. This reaction is typically catalyzed by specific enzymes or catalysts to ensure proper conversion.
What does ethanol as a fuel?
ethanoic acid+water -a chemistry whiz
What is ethanol and ethanoic acid used for?
If you ever had vinegar on your salad, you used ethanoic acid. Ethanoic acid is more commonly known by its other name of acetic acid, and vinegar is most often a dilute (<10%) solution of acetic acid.
What is the half equation of ethanol to ethanoic acid?
The half equation for the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid involves the oxidation of ethanol to form ethanal (acetaldehyde), followed by the further oxidation of ethanal to ethanoic acid. The half equation for the oxidation of ethanol to ethanal is: CH3CH2OH → CH3CHO + 2H+ + 2e-. The half equation for the oxidation of ethanal to ethanoic acid is: CH3CHO + H2O → CH3COOH + 2H+ + 2e-.
What does ethanol produce as a fuel?
ethanoic acid+water -a chemistry whiz
What is the IUPAC name of the organic acid produced by oxidation of ethanol?
Acetic acid/ethanoic acid/CH3COOH
What does the oxidation of ethanol produce?
Ethanol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde which can be further oxidised to acetic acid
