Kolbe's reaction

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct answer is $A$. $1$. Kolbe's electrolysis of concentrated aqueous solutions of sodium or potassium salts of saturated monocarboxylic acids yields higher alkanes at the anode. $2$. In the case of salts of dicarboxylic acids (e.g.,succinic acid salts),the electrolysis yields alkenes at the anode. $3$. Thus,depending on the starting material (monocarboxylic vs. dicarboxylic acid salts),Kolbe's reaction can yield both alkanes and alkenes. $4$. For monocarboxylic acid: $2CH_3COONa + 2H_2O \xrightarrow{	ext{electrolysis}} CH_3-CH_3 + 2CO_2 + H_2 + 2NaOH$. $5$. For dicarboxylic acid (e.g.,sodium succinate): $NaOOC-CH_2-CH_2-COONa + 2H_2O \xrightarrow{	ext{electrolysis}} CH_2=CH_2 + 2CO_2 + H_2 + 2NaOH$.
