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.
