The compound which is not formed during the dry distillation of mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate isA. PropanalB. PropanoneC. EthanalD. Methanal

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.
