Question

how can we obtain butane by kolbe's electrolysis ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Alkanes are formed on electrolisis of concentrated solutions of sodium or potassium salt

• Kolbes electrolysis methoud
• electrolysis of an acid salt gives symmetrical alcane
• However in case of mixture of carboxylic acid salts,all probable alkanes are formed

R1COOK +R2COOK electrolysis----->

R1-R2+2CO2+H2+2NaOH

Answer 2

Answer:

The electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation of carboxylic acid salts that leads to radicals, which dimerize. It is best applied to the synthesis of symmetrical dimers, but in some cases can be used with a mixture of two carboxylic acids to furnish unsymmetrical dimers.
