Oxidation of primary alcohol by potassium permanganate ( $K M n O_{4}$ ) produceS carboxylic acid.

$C_{2} H_{5} O H + K M n O_{4} / H^{+} \to C H_{3} C O O H (X)$

$C H_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H (Y) / H_{2} S O_{4} \to C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5}$

The sequence of reaction is an oxidation reaction (ethanol to acetic acid) followed by an esterification (acetic acid and ethanol making ethyl acetate).

Hence, X is Acetic acid and Y is Ethyl acetate.

Find X and Y in the following reaction.C2H5OHKMnO4/H+−−−−−−−−→XY/H2SO4−−−−−−→CH3COOC2H5CH3OH,C2H5OHCH3COOH,C2H5OHCH3CHO,CH3OHCH2=CH2,CH3COOH

Find $X$ and $Y$ in the following reaction.
$C_{2} H_{5} O H K M n O_{4} / H^{+} - ------- \to X Y / H_{2} S O_{4} - ----- \to C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5}$

$C H_{3} O H, C_{2} H_{5} O H$
$C H_{3} C O O H, C_{2} H_{5} O H$
$C H_{3} C H O, C H_{3} O H$
$C H_{2} = C H_{2}, C H_{3} C O O H$
