MCQ
Which one of the combinations will give propanaldehyde on dry distillation?
  • A
    $(C_6H_5COO)_2Ca$ and $(HCOO)_2Ca$
  • B
    $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$ and $(CH-3CH_2-COO)_2Ca$
  • $(CH_3-CH_2-COO)_2Ca$ and $(HCOO)_2Ca$
  • D
    $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$ and $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(CH_3-CH_2-COO)_2Ca$ and $(HCOO)_2Ca$
c
Dry distillation of a mixture of calcium propionate and calcium formate gives propanaldehyde.

$\left( CH _3- CH _2- COO \right)_2 Ca +( HCOO )_2 Ca \stackrel{\text { drydistillation }}{\longrightarrow} 2 CH _3 CH _2 CHO + CaCO _3$
