air LOCK is dere so oxygen doesnt anter or else ethanol would oxidise....or we would get sumthing else [ethanoic acid i think]
 but not ethanol

The airlock is used to allow CO2 out and prevent O2 and bacteria entering the fermentation jar, thus allowing anaerobic respiartion to occur.

why is the cotton needed? and where is it placed?

the question says: which apparatus is most suitable for producing ethanol by fermentation?

my text book and notes say that CO2 escapes from the airlock, no cotton wool is mentioned

are u sure its cotton wool ??  :-\
