The compound which is not formed during the dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate is

Answer»

Propanal
Propanone
Ethanal
METHANAL

Solution :The FOLLOWING compound are OBTAINED when a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate are subjected to dry distilation:
`underset("Calcium formate")((HCOO)_(2)Ca)overset(Delta)(to)underset("Methanal")(HCHO)+CaCO_(3)`
`underset("Calcium acetate")((CH_(3)COO)_(2)Ca)overset(Delta)(to)underset("Propanone")(CH_(3)COCH_(3))+CaCO_(3)`
`(HCOO)_(2)Ca+(CH_(3)COO)_(2)Ca overset(Delta)(to)underset("Ethanal")(2CH_(3)CHO+CaCO_(3)`
Thus, only propanal is not formed.
