I'm looking for help determining the two half reactions for the following reaction:

 

CH3COOH ---> CH4 + CO2

 

Any help?

Are you referring to Kolbe Electrolysis?

 

Edit This should not be confused with the Kolbe Reaction. (as I originally did, sorry)

Have you tried looking in the CRC handbook for 'half cell emfs'

 

It's not included in my Kaye and Laby listing of these.
