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

KCETKCET 2009Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Propanal is not formed during the dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate.
$( HCOO )_{2} Ca \xrightarrow{\text { Dry distillation }}HCHO + CaCO _{3}$
$\left( CH _{3} COO \right)_{2} Ca \xrightarrow{\Delta} CH _{3} COCH _{3}+ CaCO _{3}$ $( HCOO )_{2} Ca +\left( CH _{3} COO \right)_{2} Ca \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2 CH _{3} CHO +2 CaCO _{3}$
