Which acid is generally formed by oxidation of ethanol?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ethanoic acid

Ethanol, with the formula CH3CH2OH, is a primary alcohol. On oxidation, it first forms ethanal and can then undergo further oxidation to ethanoic acid, CH3COOH, when the oxidising conditions are sufficient. Therefore option A is correct. Methanoic and propanoic acids contain different carbon skeletons, while carbonic acid is not the normal oxidation product of ethanol.
