The chemicals and the reaction conditions required for the preparation of ethane are

Options

A. ` C_(2)H_(5)1,Zn-Cu, C_(3)H_(5)OH`
B. `CH_(3)CI, Na, H_(2)O`
C. KOOC-CH=CH-COOK, electrolysis
D. `CH_(3)CO_(2)Na, NaOH,CaO,Delta`

Answer

A

Explanation

For preparation of ethane, alkyl halides are reduced to hydrocarbons by using Zn - Cu couple in presence of alcohol
`C_(2)H_(5)I overset((Zn-Cu)) underset(C_(2)H_(5)OH)toC_(2)H_(6)+HI`
