equation for the reaction of ethanol with dichromate(VI) ions under acidic condition.

equation for the reaction of H2O2 with MnO4- ions under acidic condition.

how can I determine the products and what's the skill of writting equation for ethanol such neutral coMpound?
更新1:

and in H2O2 --> O2 + 2H+ + 2E- Either H2O2 undergo reduction of oxidation? O2 O.S. has decreased but release electron

更新2:

and in H2O2 --> O2 + 2H+ + 2E- Either H2O2 undergo reduction OR oxidation? O2 oxidation number has decreased but release electron

Equation for the reaction of ethanol with dichromate(VI) ions under acidic condition:

If this is a question in inorganic chemistry, an ionic equation can be written as usual by combining two half-equations.

The half-equation of the reduction of dichromate(VI) ions is:
Cr2O72-(aq) + 14H+(aq) + 6e- → 2Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O(l) ... (*)

Ethanol is oxidized to ethanal (CH3CHO) and then ethanoic acid (CH3COOH).


(a) If the product is ethanal :

(a) The half-equation of the oxidation of ethanol to ethanal is:
(a) CH3CH2OH(aq) → CH3CHO(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2e- .... (#)

(a) The overall equation is obtained by (*) + 3 x (#)
(a) Cr2O72-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 3CH3CH2OH(aq) → 2Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O(l) + 3CH3CHO(aq)


(b) If the product is ethanic acid :

(a) The half-equation of the oxidation of ethanol to ethanal is:
(a) CH3CH2OH(aq) + H2­O(l) → CH3COOH(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 4e- ... (##)

(a) The overall equation is obtained by 2 x (*) + 3 x (##)
(a) 2Cr2O72-(aq) + 16H+(aq) + 3CH3CH2OH(aq) → 4Cr3+(aq) + 11H2O(l) + 3CH3COOH(aq)


However, if this is a question in organic chemistry, the equation would be written as follows:

CH3CH2OH Cr2O72-/H+ - CH3CHO -- Cr2O72-/H+
CH3CH2OH ----------→ CH3CHO --------------→ CH3COOH

Equation for the reaction of H2O2 with MnO4- ions under acidic condition.

The half-equation of the reduction of the manganate(VII) ions is:
MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e- → Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) ... (1)

The half-equation of the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide is:
H2O2(aq) → 2H+(aq) + O2(g) + 2e- ... (2)

The overall equation is obtained by 2 x (1) + 5 x (2):
2MnO4-(aq) + 6H+(aq) + 5H2O2(aq) → 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5O2(g)

Consider the half-equation: H2O2(aq) → 2H+(aq) + O2(g) + 2e-
H2O2 is oxidized because the oxidation number increases from -1 (in H2O2) to 0 (in O2).
