Q

mechanism of kolbe elctrolysis

A

when the potassium salts of acetic acid is electrolysed the acetate ion migrates toward the anode
at the anode, the acetate ion gives an electron and forms acetate free radical
acetate free radicals decompose to form methyl free radical and two CO2 molecules
two methyl free radicals combine to give ethane
