Hey dear,
● Answer -
Propane can be obtained by decarboxylation of sodium butanoate with sodium hydroxide.
● Reaction -
Here, we'll take sodium butanoate as sodium salt of fatty acid.
Sodium butanoate when treated with soda lime to obtain propane.
CH3CH3CH2COONa + NaOH --> CH3CH2CH3 + Na2CO3
Sodium carbonate is formed as byproduct in this reaction.
Hope this helps you.
Keep asking.
