Excess Acidified K2Cr2O7 is a Good oxidizing agent, when ethyl alchol is oxidized by acidized potassium dichromate, oxidatioj takes place to give ETHANOIC ACID.
so they are definitely correct

the excessive oxidation product of ethanol is ethanoic acidic. note that the acidified k2cr2o7 is only serving as an oxidizing agent as it readily gains electrons.

Ethanol is readily oxidized to ethanal by warming with potassium heptaoxodichromate(iv)solution...but on further oxidation in the presence of excess tetraoxosulphate(iv) acid,the ethanol is converted to ethanoic acid...please make correction...(A) is correct.

u guys r wrong

ethanol is oxidized to ethanal by warming k2cr2o7 wic has been acidifed with dilute h2so4 but with excess of k2cr2o7 it gvs ethanoic acid

plz make correction oh!
