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

    A)  methanal           

    B)  propanal

    C)  propanone      

    D)  ethanol

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Propanal is not formed during the dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and calcium acetate. \[{{(HCOO)}_{2}}Ca\xrightarrow{Dry\text{ }distillation}HCHO+CaC{{O}_{3}}\]\[{{(C{{H}_{3}}COO)}_{2}}Ca\xrightarrow{\Delta }C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}+CaC{{O}_{3}}\] \[{{(HCOO)}_{2}}Ca+{{(C{{H}_{3}}COO)}_{2}}Ca\xrightarrow{\Delta }2C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]                                                       \[+\,\,2CaC{{O}_{3}}\]
