Acetylene is obtained by the electrolysis of
Correct answer: B. Sodium fumarate
- A. Sodium succinate
- B. Sodium fumarate
- C. Both of the above
- D. None of the These
Explanation
In Kolbe's electrolysis, acetylene is indeed produced at the anode by the electrolysis of Sodium/Potassium maleate or fumarate. This reaction results in the formation of acetylene gas. The other options are incorrect because sodium succinate does not produce acetylene, and the statement 'Both of the above' and 'None of These' are not valid as they do not accurately reflect the electrolysis process for acetylene production.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
