    Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate (VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.
