Propanal is not formed during the dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate.

(H COO)_{2} C a Dry distillation H C H O + C a C O_{3}

(C H_{3} COO)_{2} C a Δ C H_{3} COC H_{3} + C a C O_{3}

(H COO)_{2} C a + (C H_{3} COO)_{2} C a Δ 2 C H_{3} C H O + 2 C a C O_{3}

Propanone

Ethanal

Methanal

Propanal

Propanal is not formed during the dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate. (HCOO)2​Ca Dry distillation ​HCHO+CaCO3​ (CH3​COO)2​CaΔ​CH3​COCH3​+CaCO3​ (HCOO)2​Ca+(CH3​COO)2​CaΔ​2CH3​CHO+2CaCO3​

Propanal is not formed during the dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate.
$(H COO)_{2} C a Dry distillation H C H O + C a C O_{3}$
$(C H_{3} COO)_{2} C a Δ C H_{3} COC H_{3} + C a C O_{3}$ $(H COO)_{2} C a + (C H_{3} COO)_{2} C a Δ 2 C H_{3} C H O + 2 C a C O_{3}$
