Sodium ethanoate on heating with soda lime gives ' X '. Electrolysis of aqueous solution of sodium ethanoate gives ' Y^ , X^ and ' Y^ respectively are
Options
- Amethane and ethane
- Bmethane and methane
- Cethane and methane
- 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.
