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
