(i) Ethanol gets oxidised to ethanoic acid.

CH₃CH₂OH + 2[O] + Alkaline KMnO₄ → CH₃COOH + H₂O

(ii) Ethene will be formed.

CH₃CH₂OH + conc. H₂SO₄ + 443K → CH₂ = CH₂ + H₂O

Uses:

(i) It is used in tonics and cough syrups.

(ii) It is used as fuel.

(iii) It is used as solvent.

(iv) It is used in wine, beer and whisky.
