Answer:When ethanol is oxidised with alkaline potassium permanganate (alkaline KMnO 4) or acidified potassium dichromate (acidified K 2 Cr 2 O 7), ethanoic acid is formed. Alkaline potassium permanganate and acidified potassium dichromate are strong oxidising agents, as they provide oxygen for oxidising other substances in the reaction
