The conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid is as follows:
CH3CH2OH+KMnO4(Alkaline)→CH3COOH
If you see the above change carefully you will notice that this in this change one extra O atom is been added and two H atoms are being removed from ethanol molecule to convert it into ethanoic acid.Addition of O and removal of H is known as oxidation.
