explain decarboxylation of sodium benzoate with chemical equation
​

Answer 1

Answer:

"The chemical formula of sodium benzoate is C6H5COONa and that of soda lime is CaHNaO2. We know that the soda lime is obtained when calcium oxide is mixed with sodium hydroxide. Explanation: Hint:The chemical formula of sodium benzoate is C6H5COONa and that of soda lime is CaHNaO2. "

Explanation:

hope it's helpful

Answer 2

In general :

➡️Carboxylic acid lose carbon dioxide to form Hydrocarbon when their Sodium salts are heated with sodalime (NaOH + CaO in the ratio of 3 : 1)

This reaction is called Decarboxaylation.

___________________

Decarboxaylation of Sodium Benzoate :

➡️When benzene is treated with (NaOH) Sodium hydroxide forms Sodium Benzoate.

➡️When Sodium Benzoate treated with soda lime (NaOH +CaO) , it is gives Benzene (C6H6) as major product.

(loss of carbon dioxide molecule take place to form Hydrocarbon)

➡️And minor product is Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
