JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2024 - 31st January Morning Shift - No. 24)
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 ________.
Answer
3
Explanation
$$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa} \rightarrow \dot{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$$
$$\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COONa} \rightarrow \dot{\mathrm{C}}_2 \mathrm{H}_5$$
$$2 \dot{\mathrm{C}}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3$$
$$2 \dot{\mathrm{CH}}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_3$$
$$\dot{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3+\dot{\mathrm{C}}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3$$
