Dear student
 
Ethanol to Methanol
 
 
CH3CH2OH + CrO3  =  CH3COOH
 (Ethanol)                    (Acetic acid)
 
CH3COOH + NaOH  =  CH3COONa
(Acetic acid)                (Sodium acetate)
 
CH3COONa + NaOH + CaO  =      CH4       +    Na2CO3 
(Sodium acetate)                     (Methane)
 
CH +   Cl2   =      CH3Cl
(Methane)        (Methyl Chloride)    
 
         CH3Cl           +   KOH(aq)  =   CH3OH
(Methyl Chloride)                          (Methanol)
