The alkane formed on heating sodium butanoate with sodalime is
- A Methane
- B Ethane
- C Propane
- D Butane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Propane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The alkane formed on heating sodium butanoate with sodalime is propane. In this reaction , the product contains one carbon atom less than the carboxylic acid. This process of elimination of carbon dioxide from a carboxylic acid is known as decarboxylation.
