Solution:

$ \underset{Sodium\,butyrate}{\mathop{{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{7}}COONa+NaOH}}\,+\xrightarrow{CaO}\underset{\Pr opane}{\mathop{{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{8}}}}\, $ $ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} Sodium \\ carbonate \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{+N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}}}\, $ Sodium butyrate undergoes soda lime decarb- oxylation and gives propane.
