Conversion of ethanol into ethanoic acid is what type of reaction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Oxidation

Ethanol, C₂H₅OH, is converted into ethanoic acid, CH₃COOH, when it reacts with an oxidising agent such as alkaline potassium permanganate or acidified potassium dichromate. This involves addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen, which is the governing idea of oxidation. Hydrogenation adds hydrogen, saponification makes soap, and esterification forms an ester, so option A is correct.
