Ethanol can be oxidised to ethanoic acid. Write the equation and name the oxidising agent.

What are oxidising agents?

Give a chemical test for an oxidising agent.

Which change requires an oxidising agent?

(i) Write the equation for the complete combustion of Ethane. (ii) Using appropriate catalysts Ethane can be oxidised to an alcohol and aldehyde and an acid. Name the alcohol aldehyde and acid formed when ethane is oxidised.

Perchloric acid is strongest acid, but weakest oxidising agent. Why?

Assertion : Glucose gets oxidised to gluconic acid on reaction with mild oxidising agent like bromine water. Reason : Glucose contains a keto group.

Why ethanoic acid is a stronger acid than ethanol.
