11.7.2—Formation of ethanoic acid by the question 1
[Maximum number: 1]
Ethanol is manufactured by two methods:
method 1 fermentation of aqueous glucose
method 2 catalytic addition of steam to an alkene.
Ethanol can be converted to ethanoic acid by reacting it with an acidified oxidising agent.
Name the acidified oxidising agent.
potassium manganate(VII)
