The gaseous products formed at cathode (X) and anode (Y) , when an aqueous solution of sodium acetate is electrolysed are array ll X & Y array
Options
- Aarray cc CO ₂ & C ₂ H ₆, H ₂ array
- BH ₂, CO ₂ C ₂ H ₆
- CH ₂ C ₂ H ₆, CO ₂
- DC ₂ H ₆, H ₂ CO ₂
Correct answer
C. H ₂ C ₂ H ₆, CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
When sodium acetate is electrolysed in aqueous medium, it react as follows 2 CH ₃ COONa +2 H ₂ O 2 CO ₂+2 C ₂ H ₆+2 H ₂ At anode (Y): C ₂ H ₆+ CO ₂ At cathode ( X ): H ₂
