Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ \underset{\underset{CH-COOK}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{CH-COOK}}+2H_2O\xrightarrow{Electrolysis}\underset{\underset{CH}{\mathop{|||}}}{\mathop{CH}}+2CO_2 $
$ \underset{\underset{C{H_2}COONa}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{CH_2-COONa}}+2H_2O\xrightarrow{Electrolysis} $
$ \underset{\underset{CH_2}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{CH_2}}+2CO_2+2NaOH+H_2 $
