Answer:
You can convert it by decarboxylation of fatty acids ( removal of -COOH group) . Sodium Propionate (C3H5Nao2)or (C2H5COONa) when reacted in the presence of sodalime (CaO+NaOH) an alkane (here C2H6 is formed an ethane)is formed along with Na2Co3. NOTE : When in a soda-lime process i.e in the presence of [NaOH+CaO].
