Answer 2

Answer:

The gas produced at the cathode is Hydrogen gas in Kolbe's electrolytic method.

Explanation:

What is Kolbe's electrolysis:

• It is the electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation of carboxylic acid salts, which produces radicals that dimerize.
• It's best for making symmetrical dimers, but it can also be utilized to make unsymmetrical dimers when combined with a mixture of two carboxylic acids.

• At the anode, electrolysis of an aqueous solution of potassium or sodium salt of a carboxylic acid creates an alkane with an even number of carbon atoms, according to Kolbe's electrolytic method.

Reaction of Kolbe's electrolysis:

2CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + 2H₂O → CH₃−CH₃ + 2CO₂ + H₂ + 2NaOH
