Solution

Q.
Number of alkanes obtained on electrolysis of a mixture of ${CH}_{3} COONa$ and $C_{2} H_{5} COONa$ is _________ . [2024]

Ans.
(3)

Kolbe's electrolysis of ${RCOO}^{-} {Na}^{+}$ gives R-R

$2 RCOONa + 2 H_{2} O \overset{electrolysis}{\to} R - R + 2 {CO}_{2} + 2 NaOH + H_{2}$

Thus electrolysis of mixture of ${CH}_{3} COONa$ and $C_{2} H_{5} COONa$ gives three alkanes: ${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{3},$ $C_{2} H_{5} - C_{2} H_{5}$ and ${CH}_{3} - C_{2} H_{5}$
