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
