Question

Dry distillation of calcium acetate and calcium formate forms:

methanol
ethanal
ethanol
acetone

Answer 1

the answer is acetone .

Answer 2

Dry distillation of calcium acetate and calcium formate forms ethanal.

Explanation:

• The reaction between the two compounds, calcium acetate and calcium formate is given by,

        $(CH_3COO)_2Ca + (HCOO)_2Ca \rightarrow 2CH_3CHO + 2CaCO_3.$

• In this reaction, it is seen that the different salts of calcium of the carboxylic acid when crossed with each other are responsible for forming different ketones and aldehydes.

• Wherein the different alkyl parts are being derived by the distinct carboxyl groups.

• The alkyl is being derived from the acetate and the aldehyde is being derived from the formate. Therefore the formation of ethanal occurs.
