Answer 1

Explanation:

example :

bezoicacid to phenol in which process is decarboxylation.

Answer 2

Decarboxylation reaction is that chemical reaction which eliminates a carboxyl group and liberates carbon dioxide (CO2).

CH3-HCO2 + Heat ------> CH4 + CO2

2CH3COOH  + Na2CO3 ----> 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

2CH3COOH  + NaHCO3 ----> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
