How is ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction different from the reaction in which ethanol burns in the presence of oxygen?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid is considered an oxidation reaction because it involves adding oxygen to ethanol or removing hydrogen from ethanol, resulting in the formation of ethanoic acid.
This process increases the oxygen content or decreases the hydrogen content in the molecule, which is a characteristic of oxidation reactions.
