Write the reaction equations with which you can get acetic acid starting from methane.

Let’s compose the equations for the synthesis of acetic acid:
CH4 – CH3Cl – C2H6 – C2H4 – C2H5OH – C2H4O – CH3COOH;
CH4 + Cl2 = CH3Cl + HCl – substitution reaction, methane chloride was obtained;
2CH3Cl + 2Na = C2H6 + 2NaCl – Wurtz reaction, ethane obtained;
C2H6 = C2H4 + H2 – dehydrogenation reaction, ethylene is formed;
Н2С = СН2 + НОН = С2Н5ОН – hydration reaction, ethanol was obtained;
С2Н5ОН + CuO = C2H4O + Cu + H2O – oxidation of ethanol, acetaldehyde is formed;
С2Н4О + Ag2O = CH3COOH + 2Ag – reaction of a silver mirror, acetic acid was obtained.
