How do we convert sodium acetate to methane?

Best Answers

It is easy. Pure Sodium Acetate and pure Sodium Hydroxide should be put in a beaker. The beaker should be heated for reaction. Then, Methane can be observed in gas formed. The reaction: CH3COONa + NaOH → CH4(g) + Na2CO3. read more

Sodium acetate is CH3COONa Then add Soda Lime ( a mixture of NaOH and CaO) to it. So the reaction is : CH3COONa + NaOH → CH4 + Na2CO3 Note: It must be heated to attain a temperature of 300°C and CaO acts as the catalyst. read more
