CH3COOH(g) → CH\(_4\)(g) + CO\(_2\)(g)
The reaction above is
- Carboxylation
-
Decarboxylation
- Acidification
- Esterification
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
The decarboxylation reaction of acetic acid (CH\(_3\)COOH) is a process that removes the carboxyl group (−COOH) and replaces it with a hydrogen atom. The reaction produces methane (CH\(_4\), carbon dioxide CO\(_2\).
