1.	(i) CH_(3)COOH (ii) C_(2)H_(5)COOH (iii) C_(3)H_(7)COOH (iv) C_(6)H_(5)COOH are heated with sodalime, there is decarboxylation. The are heated in different test-tube with sodalime, write the reactions occurred in different test-tube.
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) `CH_(3)COOH overset("Soda LIME" Delta)rarr CH_(4)` (Methane) (ii) `C_(2)H_(5)COOH overset("Soda lime" Delta)rarrC_(2)H_(6)` (Ethane) (iii) `C_(3)H_(7)COOH overset("Soda lime" Delta)rarr C_(3)H_(8)` Propane) (iv) `C_(6)H_(5)COOHoverset("Soda lime" Delta)rarr C_(6)H_(6)` (Benzene) (v) `C_(6)H_(5)(OH)COOH overset("Soda lime" Delta)rarr C_(6)H_(5)OH` (Phenol) In all the above decarboxylation `CO_(2)` gas released.
