Question

Sodium acetate reacts with sodalime to form

Answer 1

When sodium acetate is heated with soda lime (NaOH+CaO), methane will be produced by decarboxylation. Sodium acetate and soda lime(NaOH + CaO), on reaction give methane and sodium carbonate. This reaction is called decarboxylation and is one of the general methods to prepare alkanes.

equation :

CH3COONa(sodium acetate) +NaOH(soda lime) = CH4 (methane) + Na2CO3(sodium carbonate)

hope it helps!

Answer 2

To form CH4 and Na2CO3. See the reaction by tapping on the attachment I have attached here.......
