Let’s check out your problem:

can someone give me an example of the oxidation of alcohols like i know the reaction is: ethanol + [oxygen][\text{oxygen}] from oxidising agent \rightarrow ethanoic acid + water oh wait wai wait lemme attempt first WAIT would it be C2H5OH+O2CH3COOH+H2O\text{C}_{2}\text{H}_{5}\text{OH} + \text{O}_{2} \rightarrow \text{CH}_{3}\text{COOH} + \text{H}_{2}\text{O} is this correct?

Q. can someone give me an example of the oxidation of alcohols like i know the reaction is: ethanol + [oxygen][\text{oxygen}] from oxidising agent \rightarrow ethanoic acid + water oh wait wai wait lemme attempt first WAIT would it be C2H5OH+O2CH3COOH+H2O\text{C}_{2}\text{H}_{5}\text{OH} + \text{O}_{2} \rightarrow \text{CH}_{3}\text{COOH} + \text{H}_{2}\text{O} is this correct?
  1. Write Equation: Step 11: Write down the unbalanced equation for the reaction.\newlineEthanol reacts with oxygen to form ethanoic acid and water.\newlineC2H5OH+O2CH3COOH+H2OC_2H_5OH + O_2 \rightarrow CH_3COOH + H_2O
  2. Balance Carbon: Step 22: Balance the carbon atoms.\newlineThere is 11 carbon atom on both sides of the equation.\newlineC2H5OH+O2CH3COOH+H2O\mathrm{C_2H_5OH} + \mathrm{O_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH_3COOH} + \mathrm{H_2O}
  3. Balance Hydrogen: Step 33: Balance the hydrogen atoms.\newlineThere are 66 hydrogen atoms on the left and only 44 on the right.\newlineC2H5OH+O2CH3COOH+2H2O\mathrm{C_2H_5OH} + \mathrm{O_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH_3COOH} + 2\mathrm{H_2O}
  4. Balance Oxygen: Step 44: Balance the oxygen atoms.\newlineThere are 1+2=31 + 2 = 3 oxygen atoms on the left and 2+2=42 + 2 = 4 on the right.\newlineC2H5OH+2O2CH3COOH+2H2O\mathrm{C_2H_5OH} + 2\mathrm{O_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH_3COOH} + 2\mathrm{H_2O}
