Which of the following hydrocarbon cannot be synthesized by Kolbes electrolytic method? A. Ethane B. n-ButaneC. n-Hexane D. n-Propane
Hi Rudra Narayan Patra !
n-Propane cannot be synthesized by Kolbe's Electrolysis. Because by Kolbes Electrolysis only those hydrocarbons will be synthesized which have even number of Alkyl group. Through this method, the alkane is formed by the combination of two alkyl free radical.
