Acetic acid is treated with \( \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \) and the product so obtained is subjected to dry
distillation. The final product is
- A othanal
- B propanal
- C propanone
- D ethanol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) propanone
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When acetic acid reacts with slaked lime, calcium acetate is formed, which on dry distillation produces ketone.
\( 2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \rightarrow\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Ca}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \)
\( 2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \rightarrow\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Ca}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \)
