When calcium formate and calcium acetate are dry heated they form:
Correct answer: B. CH3CHO
- A. HCOOH
- B. CH3CHO
- C. C2H5OH
- D. HCHO
Explanation
When calcium formate and calcium acetate are dry heated, they do not directly form CH3CHO (acetaldehyde). Dry heating these compounds typically leads to the decomposition of calcium formate and calcium acetate, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide and the formation of calcium carbonate. Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) is usually produced through other synthetic processes.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
