Hey could anyone suggest which books are best for O level physics and chemistry? or if anyone could post useful, compiled and complete notes on them i would be grateful.
Physics : Explaining Physics, Physics Matters.
Chemistry: Chemistry Matters.

although the books suggested above are great and better but these books are detailed and for now just 3 or even lesss months left i would say to get the Federal publishers chemistry and Physics books as they have the explanation and the concepts in a concise way,others might disagree but i would give u this advise for now :D

Um are u serious bro, if u have the pirated ones they look the worst yup but not the coloured version ones they have the info we need at this stage rather than the huge details in the other books ! Plus u look at the time that guy has who asked the ques if he is asking what books to use he never even started prep. so he needs a book which is not detailed and gets the concept easily ! :D

the green FEDERAL book by prescott is really good for chemistry....chemistry matter's good too.
and for physics,i'd suggest ''explaining physics'' by stephen pople

U must be talking about ethanol converstion into Carboxlyic Acid.
It can be done by:
=> Reaction with Oxygen, or Oxidization agent

I guess this is Oxidation of Ethanol to produce Ethanoic Acid. If so then this is the correct equation as specified in the 5070 2012 syllabus.

C2H5OH + Oxidizing Agent [ e.g pottasium dichromate (VI) ] ---> CH3COOH + H2O.

That is due to general formula:
Alcohols have general formula of CnH2n+1 OH
While Carboxoliyic has the formula CnH2n+COOH.
When we compare:
C2H5OH + O2 = CH3COOH + H2O
