|
Answer» Correct Answer - A The following compound are obtained when a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate are subjected to dry distillation: `underset("Calcium acetate")((HCOO)_(2))Ca overset(Delta)to underset("Methanal")(HCHO)+CaCO_(3)` `underset("Calcium acetate")((CH_(3)COO)_(2))Ca overset(Delta)tounderset("Propanone")(CH_(3)COCH_(2))+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. |
