Number of alkanes obtained on electrolysis of a mixture of \(CH_3COONa\) and \(C_2H_5COONa\) is___.
Correct Answer: 3
Solution and Explanation
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{COONa} \longrightarrow \cdot \text{CH}_3 \]
\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{COONa} \longrightarrow \cdot \text{C}_2\text{H}_5 \]
\[ 2 \cdot \text{C}_2\text{H}_5 \longrightarrow \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \]
\[ 2 \cdot \text{CH}_3 \longrightarrow \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_3 \]
\[ \cdot \text{CH}_3 + \cdot \text{C}_2\text{H}_5 \longrightarrow \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \]
