Solution

(a)Sodium propionate is used in the preparation of ethane.
$C_{2} H_{5} C O O N a + N a O H \Rightarrow N a_{2} C O_{3} + C_{2} H_{6}$
(b)Methyl iodide (also known as Iodomethane) is used to produce both methane.
$C H_{3} I + 2 [H] \Rightarrow C H_{4} + H I$
(c)Ethyl bromide is used to produce ethane.
$C_{2} H_{5} B r + 2 [H] \Rightarrow C_{2} H_{6} + H B r$
