Calcium formate $+$ calcium acetate

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Dry distillation of a mixture of calcium formate and another calcium salt of a carboxylic acid yields an aldehyde.Specifically,the reaction between calcium formate $(HCOO)_2Ca$ and calcium acetate $(CH_3COO)_2Ca$ produces acetaldehyde $(CH_3CHO)$ along with calcium carbonate $(CaCO_3)$.The reaction is: $(HCOO)_2Ca + (CH_3COO)_2Ca \xrightarrow{400^{\circ}C} 2CH_3CHO + 2CaCO_3$.
