उत्तर
The alkane formed on heating sodium butanoate with soda lime is propane.
Explanation:
Propane is the alkane produced when sodium butanoate is heated with soda lime. The result of this reaction has one less carbon atom than carboxylic acid. Decarboxylation refers to the process of removing carbon dioxide from a carboxylic acid.
