<h2>CH_3CH_2OH  →  CH_3CHO </h2>

Explanation:

Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.

CH_3CH_2OH→  CH_3CHO [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]

  • An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.  
  • An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.

Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.

  • The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.  
  • In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
  • There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

     CH_3CHO  →  CH_3CH_2COOH [reduction by the gain of electrons]

Here, the oxidizing agent used isCr_3O in the presence of acetone.
