Answer 1

Kolbe's electrolysis of a mixture of Propanoate and 3-Methylbutanoate gives three products, namely:

1. Butane
2. 2,4-Dimethylhexane
3. 2 - Methylpentane

Here, butane and 2,4 - Dimethylhexane are the self radical coupling products while 2-Methylpentane is the cross-radical coupling product.
