Question

how will you prepare propane from a sodium salt?

Answer 1

Sodium butanoate ( sodium salt of butanoic acid ) on heating with sodalime yields propane by decarboxylation.

CH3CH2CH2COONa + NaOH = CH3CH2CH3 + Na2CO3

Sodalime is a solid mixture of caustic soda and quicklime (NaOH + CaO).

Answer 2

Hy friend :)

=> Sodium butanoate ( sodium salt of butanoic acid ) on heating with sodalime yields propane by decarboxylation.
