1.	Assertion: Sodium salt of butanoic acid on heating with soda lime gives butane. Reason: Decarboxylation reaction yields alkanes having same number of carbon atoms as the parent acid.A. If both assertion and reson are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertionB. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Answer» Correct Answer - D Decarboxylation reaction gives alkanes having one carbon atom less than the carboxylic acid. Therefore, sodium salt of butanoic acid on heating with soda lime gives propane.
