A) Butane
B) Methane
C) Ethane
D) Propane
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that re- moves a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide \[(C{{O}_{2}})\]. Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids (such as Acetic acid, \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}H),\]removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain. The decarboxylation of acetic acid gives carbon dioxide and methane: \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}H>C{{O}_{2}}+C{{H}_{4}}\]
