Conversion of ethane to propanoic acid involves following steps.

Step-1:-Chlorination of ethane.

Ethane is treated with chlorine to form ethyl chloride.



Step-2:-Conversion of ethyl chloride into propanoic acid.

Ethyl chloride on reaction with alcoholic KCN gives ethyl cyanide, which on hydrolysis gives propanoic acid.
