can someone give me an example of the oxidation of alcohols like i know the reaction is: ethanol + [oxygen] from oxidising agent → ethanoic acid + water oh wait wai wait lemme attempt first WAIT would it be C2H5OH+O2→CH3COOH+H2O is this correct?
Q. can someone give me an example of the oxidation of alcohols like i know the reaction is: ethanol + [oxygen] from oxidising agent → ethanoic acid + water oh wait wai wait lemme attempt first WAIT would it be C2H5OH+O2→CH3COOH+H2O is this correct?
Write Equation: Step 1: Write down the unbalanced equation for the reaction.Ethanol reacts with oxygen to form ethanoic acid and water.C2H5OH+O2→CH3COOH+H2O
Balance Carbon: Step 2: Balance the carbon atoms.There is 1 carbon atom on both sides of the equation.C2H5OH+O2→CH3COOH+H2O
Balance Hydrogen: Step 3: Balance the hydrogen atoms.There are 6 hydrogen atoms on the left and only 4 on the right.C2H5OH+O2→CH3COOH+2H2O
Balance Oxygen: Step 4: Balance the oxygen atoms.There are 1+2=3 oxygen atoms on the left and 2+2=4 on the right.C2H5OH+2O2→CH3COOH+2H2O
