Answer:
Decarboxylation reaction is the reaction involving removal of carbon-dioxide gas. Decarboxylation of ethanoic acid is done with the help of carbonates and bicarbonates. Carbonates and bicarbonates are basic in nature and react with ethanoic acid to form salt and water. Carbon dioxide gas is also formed in the reaction.
The decarboxylation reaction involves the removal of carbon dioxide from the reactant. For, example: Decarboxylation reaction of ethanoic acid results in the formation of methane as a product.
Ketonic decarboxylation of propanoic acid over a manganese(II) oxide catalyst in a tube furnace affords the 3-pentanone. Of commercial importance is the production of 3-pentanone from propionic acid with catalysts cerium(IV) oxide and manganese dioxide on alumina.
