The following equation describes the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid by potassium permanganate: 3C₂H5OH +4KMnO4 3HC2H3O2 + 4MnO2 + 4KOH + H₂O 5.0 g of ethanol and an excess of aqueous KMnO4 are reacted, and 5.9 g HC₂H3O2 results. What is the percent yield? 67% .9 g HC2H302 is impossible because it represents more than a 100% yield. 100% 91% 30.%
