the answer is ethanal because ethanol is readily oxidized to ethanal by warming with k2cr2o7 it is on further oxidation in the presence of excess h2so4 the ethanal is converted to ethanoic acid

The product of the reaction between ethanol and excess acidified K2Cr2O2 is ethanal not ethanoic acid. Ethanoic acid is prepared by the complete oxidation of ethanol by acidified sodium heptaoxochromate(VI) solution.
