What are the equations for the conversion of ethanol to ethanal from oxidation, to ethanoic acid from oxidation for each conversion?

[Bored chemist]

In detail it's rather complex (biochemistry usually is).
In summary
CH3CH2OH + O2 → CH3COOH + H2O

From what i read there ethanol oxidzes into ethanal, which further oxidizes into ethanoic acid/acetic acid.

Would the equations be : ethanol to ethanal: C2H6O  (l) + O2 → C2H4O (aq) + H2O(l)
ethanal to ethanoic acid: C2H4O(l) + O2 (g)-->  CH3COOH (aq)+ H2O(l) ?

Close, but these equations aren't balanced. I believe these are:
C₂H₆O + 0.5 O₂ —> C₂H₄O + H₂O
C₂H₄O + 0.5 O₂ —> C₂H₄O₂
