advantage of producing ethanol by the fermentation of glucose.Your answer must not refer to cost.[1](d) Ethanol can be oxidised to ethanoic acid State the chemical reagent needed to oxidise ethanol to ethanoic acid.M(e)Ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. ...
Furthermore, the consumption of even a small quantity of pure ethanol is dangerous. Consumption of alcohol for a long period may cause diseases and adverse health effects. Ethanol when oxidised with monatomic oxygen, yields ethanoic acid. Ethanol is a combustible material. It produces carbon dioxide...
Thus non-polar and therefore not water soluble organic compounds tend to be oxidized within the liver e.g.: trichloroethane oxidised to trichloroethanol trichloroacetaldehyde and trichloroacetic acid, dichloromethane (methylene chloride CH2Cl2) oxidized to carbon monoxide (CO) TOXICOLOGY AND TOXICANTS Tr...
