Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : Methane can be prepared by decarboxylation of sodium ethanoate, Kolbe's electrolysis of sodium acetate and reaction of 
with water.
Statement-II : Methane cannot be prepared from unsaturated hydrocarbons and by Wurtz reaction.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Methane cannot be prepared by Kolbe's electrolysis process. So, statement-1 is false
Ethane
Methane also cannot be prepared by Wurtz reaction, so statement-2 is true
If 
then ethane is formed not methane.
