Sodium ethanoate on heating with soda lime gives ' X '. Electrolysis of aqueous solution of sodium ethanoate gives ' Y^ , X^ and ' Y^ respectively are

Options

  1. Amethane and ethane
  2. Bmethane and methane
  3. Cethane and methane
  4. Dethane and ethane

Correct answer

A. methane and ethane

Step-by-step solution

The complete reaction sequence involved is as follows Sodium ethanoate CH ₃ COONa + Sodium hydroxide NaOH [ ] CaO Methane (X) CH ₄ + Na ₂ CO ₃ Thus, the compounds X and Y are methane and ethane respectively.
