Question

Ethyl alcohol on oxidation with acidified $K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7$ gives ethanal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Ethyl alcohol on controlled oxidation with acidified $K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7$ gives ethanal and on complete oxidation gives ethanoic acid.
$C{H}_{3}OH+\left[O\right]\underset{dil.H_{2}S{O}_4}{\overset{K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7}{\to }}C{H}_{3}CHO+\left[O\right]\underset{dil.H_{2}S{O}_4}{\overset{K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7}{\to }}C{H}_{3}COOH$
