: [[Butanoic Acid]] + [[Sodium]] → [[Sodium Butanoate]] + [[Hydrogen]]
: <chemmath>2C3H7COOH 2C_3H_7COOH + 2Na -> 2C3H7COONa → 2C_3H_7COONa + H2H_2</chemmath>
: [[Butanoic Acid]] + [[Potassium Oxide]] → [[Potassium Butanoate]] + [[Water]]
: <chemmath>2C3H7COOH 2C_3H_7COOH + 2K -> 2C3H7COOK → 2C_3H_7COOK + H2OH_2O</chemmath>
: [[Butanoic Acid]] + [[Lithium Hydroxide]] → [[Lithium Butanoate]] + [[Water]]
