This is multi step process.

Step-I

convert Ethane to ethyl halide by haloneation in presence of UV light.

C2H6 + Cl2 =C2H5Cl + HCl

Step-II

Convert Ethyl chloride to ethene by elimination reaction using Alc. KOH

CH3-CH2-Cl + KOH(Alc.) = CH2=CH2 + KCl + H20

Step-III

Now do Ozonolysis and then react with Zn, then it forms formaldehyde.

CH2=CH2 + O3 = 2HCHO
