The reaction shown is the conversion of ethanol (C2H5OH) to potassium acetate (CH3COOK). This reaction involves the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid followed by the reaction with potassium hydroxide to form potassium acetate and water.
The overall reaction can be represented as follows: C2H5OH + 2KOH -> CH3COOK + H2O
Ethanol reacts with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to form potassium acetate (CH3COOK) and water (H2O).
