Solution
When sodium acetate is heated with soda lime (NaOH + CaO), methane is obtained.
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{O}\phantom{.................................}\\
||\phantom{.................................}\\
\ce{\underset{(Sodium acetate)}{CH3 - C - ONa} + NaOH ->[CaO][\Delta] \underset{(Methane)}{CH4} + Na2CO3}\\
\end{array}\]
