Solution

In the electrolysis of a concentrated solution of sodium acetate, hydrogen is evolved at the cathode and a mixture of ethane and carbon dioxide at the anode.

$2 C H_{3} C O O N a + 2 H_{2} O ⟶ C H_{3} C H_{3} + 2 C O_{2} + H_{2} + 2 N a O H$

On electrolysing the solution of CH $_{3}$ COONa(aq.), the volume ratio of gases formed at anode and cathode is 3:1.
