You are electrolyzing potassium salt of a dicarboxylic acid in aqueous solution. Which product do you expect to be formed?
Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. None
Explanation
Kolbe's electrolysis method is a general method of preparation of substituted hydrocarbons from the substituted carboxylic acids by the use of the electric discharge method where carbon dioxide gas is released. It is one of the most widely used methods for the preparation of alkanes and substituted hydrocarbons.

About Redox Reactions
Redox reactions involve oxidation and reduction occurring together, with electrons transferred between species or oxidation numbers changing. The topic covers assigning oxidation states, identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, balancing redox equations by oxidation number or half-reaction methods, and connecting chemical changes with galvanic and electrolytic cells.
