What two substances entered into a reaction if k2co3 + c2n6 were formed.

The reaction products are potassium carbonate and ethane (a hydrocarbon belonging to the homologous series of alkanes).

Such products are formed as a result of the fusion of solid potassium hydroxide and potassium propionate (propinic acid salt) – the Dumas reaction.
