Which one of the following reactions gives the product with less number of carbon atoms than the starting material?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid i.e. RCOONa is heated strongly with soda lime (NaOH + CaO) , a molecule of carbon-dioxide is split off as carbonate and an alkane is obtained. This is known as decarboxylation of carboxylic acids.…
