Answer:

methane

Explanation:

It is methane (CH4), the simplest hydrocarbon as well as alkane.

Usually, the sodium salt of the acid is taken for the purpose, and soda lime (NaOH+CaO) is the decarboxylating agent normally used.

CH3COONa + NaOH = CH4 + Na2CO3

This is the usual method for preparation of the gas in the laboratory
