How will you convert ethanoic acid into methane? Explain with the help of equations of the reactions involved.

Answer»

Solution :`underset("Ethanoic acid")(CH_(3)COOH)+underset("hydroxide")underset("SODIUM")(NaOH)to underset("Sodium ethanoate")(CH_(3)COONa)+underset("Water")(H_(2)O)`
Then, sodium ethanoate is HEATED with SODALIME to get methane.
`underset("Sodium ethanoate")(CH_(3)COONa)+underset(("from sodalime"))underset("Sodium hydroxide")(NaOH) to underset("Methane")(CH_(4))+underset("CARBONATE")underset("Sodium")(Na_(2)CO_(3))`
