Question

C 2 H 5 OH → CH 3 COH → CH 3 COOH

Answer 1

Ответ:

C2H5OH+CuO=CH3COH+Cu+H2O

CH3COH+Ag2O=CH3COOH+2Ag

Answer 2

The chemical equation you provided represents the oxidation of ethanol (C2H5OH) to acetic acid (CH3COOH). This process typically occurs in two steps. Here's a breakdown of the reactions involved:

1. Oxidation of Ethanol to Acetaldehyde: C2H5OH → CH3CHO + H2

In this step, ethanol is oxidized to acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), with the production of hydrogen gas (H2).

2. Oxidation of Acetaldehyde to Acetic Acid: CH3CHO + O2 → CH3COOH

In the second step, acetaldehyde is further oxidized to form acetic acid (CH3COOH) in the presence of oxygen (O2).

Overall, the process can be summarized as follows: C2H5OH + O2 → CH3COOH + H2O

Please note that these reactions usually require a catalyst, such as an enzyme or a specific metal catalyst, to occur efficiently in practical applications.
