A) Sodium succinate

B) Potassium fumarate

C) Both A and B

D) None of these

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

           \[\underset{\underset{CH-COOK}{\mathop{|\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{CH-COOK}}\,\,+2\,{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{Electrolysis}\underset{\underset{CH}{\mathop{|\,|\,|\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{CH}}\,\,+2\,C{{O}_{2}}\]                                                                          \[\underset{\underset{C{{H}_{\text{2}}}COONa\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}-COONa}}\,+2\,{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{Electrolysis}\] \[\underset{\underset{\,C{{H}_{2}}}{\mathop{|\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,+2\,C{{O}_{2}}+2\,NaOH+{{H}_{2}}\]
