Solution
The correct option is D 112 ml CH3COOH+NaOH→CH3COONa+H2O Number of moles of sodium acetate =100ml1000ml/L×0.1mol/L=0.01mol 2CH3COONahydrolysis−−−−−−−→electrolysisCH3−CH3+2CO2+2NaOH+H2↑
Number of moles of ethane are one half the number of moles of sodium acetate. Number of moles of ethane =0.012=0.005 moles. At STP, 1 mole of ethane occupies a volume of 22400 ml. Hence, 0.005 moles of ethane will occupy a volume of 0.005×22400=112 ml.
