    Which one of the following reactions is expected to readily give a hydrocarbon in good yields?

    A) \[RCOOK\xrightarrow[oxidation]{Electrolytic}\]      

    B) \[RCO{{O}^{-}}A{{g}^{+}}\xrightarrow{B{{r}_{2}}}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[h\upsilon ]{C{{l}_{2}}}\]

    D) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}CCl\xrightarrow{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    Electrolysis of a concentrated aqueous solution of either sodium or potassium salts of saturated mono-carboxylic aids yield higher alkane at anode
    \[2RCOOK\xrightarrow[Oxidation]{Electrolytic}2{{\underset{Anode}{\mathop{RCOO}}\,}^{-}}+\underset{Cathode}{\mathop{2{{K}^{+}}}}\,\]
    At anode
    \[2RCO{{O}^{-}}\to 2RCOO+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}R-R+2C{{O}_{2}}\]
    At Cathode
    \[2{{K}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}2K\]
    \[2K+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2KOH\underset{(Kolbe's\,\,method)}{\mathop{+{{H}_{2}}\uparrow }}\,\]
