What happens when ethanol is refluxed with potassium dichromate at 30°C?

Answers (1)

When ethanol is heated in the presence of acidified potassium dichromate, the orange dichromate is reduced to green solution of Chromium(III) ions. This reaction is an oxidation reaction and acidified potassium dichromate oxidizes ethanol to ethanoic acid.
