Question 18 - 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1)
Number of alkanes obtained on electrolysis of a mixture of $\mathrm{CH}{3} \mathrm{COONa}$ and $\mathrm{C}{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COONa}$ is ________
Show Answer
Answer (3)
Solution
$\mathrm{CH}{3} \mathrm{COONa} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}{3}$
$\mathrm{C}{2} \mathrm{H}{5} \mathrm{COONa} \rightarrow \dot{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{5}$
$2 \dot{\mathrm{C}}{2} \mathrm{H}{5} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}{3}-\mathrm{CH}{2}-\mathrm{CH}{2}-\mathrm{CH}{3}$
$2 \mathrm{CH}{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}$
$\dot{\mathrm{C}}{3}+\dot{\mathrm{C}}{2} \mathrm{H}{5} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}{3}-\mathrm{CH}{2}-\mathrm{CH}{3}$
