Question

Sodium or potassium salts of saturated dicarboxylic acid on electrolysis in aqueous solution at high temperature produces

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium or potassium salt of a dicarboxylic acid on electrolysis gives an alkene. An alkene is generated when an aqueous solution of sodium or potassium salt of a dibasic acid (with adjacent carboyxlic groups) is electrolyzed. The electrolysis of sodium succinate gives ethene.
